Urinary System Radpathology

POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Disorder marked by cysts scattered throughout one or both kidneys RA: enlarged kidneys, elongated renal pelvis

ECTOPIC KIDNEY

is a developmental renal anomaly characterized by abnormal anatomical location of one or both of the kidneys.

HORSESHOE KIDNEY

Fusion of the kidneys during development of the fetus

GLOMERULONEPHRITIS

Bright’s disease Inflammation of the capillary loops of the glomeruli of the kidneys 1827 English physician Richard Bright.

BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA

was formerly used for this condition, but since there is actually an increase in the number of epithelial and stromal cells in the periurethral area of the prostate, not an enlargement of cells, the more accurate term is hyperplasia.

BLADDER CALCULI

Stones that form in the urinary bladder RA: calcifications within bladder

primary bladder calculi

stones form de novo in the bladder

Secondary bladder calculi

stones are either from renal calculi which have migrated down into the bladder,

CYSTITIS

Inflammation of the UB RA: mucosal changes within bladder

STAGHORN CALCULUS

Is a large stone that grows and fills the renal pelvis completely, blocking the flow of urine

coral calculi

sometimes called__________, are renal calculi that obtain their characteristic shape by forming a cast of the renal pelvis and calyces, thus resembling the horns of a stag.

HYDRONEPHROSIS

Distention of the renal pelvis and calyxes of the kidneys that results from some obstruction of the ureter and renal pelvis RA: enlarged renal pelvis and calyces and ureter proximal

HYDRONEPHROSIS

literally "water inside the kidney" — refers to distension and dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces, usually caused by obstruction of the free flow of urine from the kidney.
