basin-like portion of the ureter within the kidney
renal pelvis
sac that holds the urine

opening in the urethra to the outside of the body
urethral meatus
fluid produced by the kidneys, containing water and waste products
urine
waste products formed in the liver, filtered out of the blood by the kidneys, and excreted in the urine

inherited condition of multiple cysts that gradually form in the kidney, causing destruction of normal tissue that leads to renal failure

removal of kidney tissue for pathologic examination
kidney biopsy; renal biopsy
x-ray image of the urinary tract obtained after an iodine contrast medium has been injected into the bloodstream
intravenous pyelogram
adbominal x-ray image of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder typically used as as scout film before obtaining an intravenous pyelogram

blood test to determine the level of urea in the blood
blood nitrogen urea (BUN)
test to determine the level of creatinine in the blood; useful in assessing kidney function
creatinine, serum
test to determine the level of creatinine in the urine
creatinine, urine
measurements of the level of creatinine in the blood and in a 24 hour urine specimen to determine the rate at which creatinine is "cleared" from the blood by the kidneys
creatinine clearance testing
excision of a kidney
nephrectomy
procedure using ultrasound outside the body to bombard and disintegrate a stone within
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)
methods of filtering impurities from the blood, replacing the function of one or both kidneys lost in renal failure

method of removing impurities by pumping the patient's blood through a dialyzer, the specialized filter of the artifical kidney machine
hemodialysis
method of removing impurities using the peritoneum as the filter
peritoneal dialysis
methods of placing a tube into the bladder to drain or collect urine
urinary catheterization
a type of catheter that is inserted through the urethra into the bladder to relieve urinary retention or to collect sterile specimens of urine for testing; catheter is removed directly following the procedure
straight catheter
indwelling catheter inserted through the urethra and into the bladder that includes a collection system allowing urine to be drained into a bag; the catheter can remain in place for an extended period
Foley catheter
indwelling catheter inserted directly in the bladder through an abdominal incision above the pubic bone that includes a collection system that allows urine to be drained into a bag; used in patients requiring long-term catheterization
