URINARY SYSTEM SPECIMENS/TESTS/PROCEDURES

Back 1

THE END

Front 2

This is a screening test for renal disease, metabolic disorders, lower urinary tract alterations, and fluid imbalances and is done on most patients.

Back 2

Urinalysis

Front 3

Urinalysis done on urine that is relatively free of microorganisms.

Back 3

Clean - voided
or
Midstream Specimen

Front 4

This type of specimen is a way to collect sterile urine for a culture by catherizing a patient or by obtaining the specimen from an existing indwelling catheter.

Back 4

Sterile Specimen

Front 5

This specimen is collected for 24 hours and you always disregard the first sample at the beginning of the collection period.

Back 5

24 Hour Specimen

Front 6

Multiple routine tests on one sample is called ______.

Back 6

Urinalysis

Front 7

This type of non-invasive procedure is also called a plain film, KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder) or flat plate of the abdomen, assesses the gross structures of the urinary tract for abnormalities. It is used to determine the size, shape & location of the kidneys, ureters, & bladder structures. It is also useful in visualizing stones (calculi) or tumors in these organs.

Back 7

Abdominal Roentgenogram (X-Ray)

Front 8

Name two types of blood tests -

Back 8

BUN - Blood Urea Nitrogen
Creatinine

Front 9

Visualizes renal tissue & pelvis, outlines ureters, kidneys, bladder, urethra.

Back 9

Intravenous Pyelogram

Front 10

This type of non-invasive procedure is used to detect turmors, obstructions, & masses.

Back 10

Computerized Axial Tomography (CT)

Front 11

This type of non-invasive procedure is used to look at renal anatomy & abnormal structures.

Back 11

Renal Ultrasound

Front 12

This type of Invasive procedure visualizes the organs with the aid of a telescope or fiberoptic imaging.

Back 12

Cystoscopy / Endoscopy

Front 13

This procedure is done by a Physician with a scope inserted thru the urethra for visualization and inspection. May also pass a small cathereter into the ureters and renal pelvis. May collect urine specimens from ureters.

Back 13

Endoscopy / Cytoscopy

Front 14

This Invasive procedure is done to visualize how the bladder empties & fills. Helps r/o causes of incontinence. A catheter is inserted, bladder filled with air or dye and catheter is clamped, films are taken and then catheter is removed. Patient voids while films are taken.

Back 14

Cystogram

Front 15

This Invasive procedure is done to visualize the vascular supply to the kidneys.

Back 15

Arteriogram

Front 16

This Invasive procedure is done to diagnose causes of renal disease, detect malignancy, & evaluate rejection post transplant.

Back 16

Renal Biopsy

Front 17

This type of Invasive procedure is the gold standard for assessing bladder function or dysfunction by reproducing the patient's urinary symptoms. This test studies the storage of urine within the bladder and the flow of urine through the urinary tract to the outside of the body.
