Urology

Front 1

a clinical syndrome that results from a sudden and significant decrease in filtaration through the glomeruli leading to the accumulation of salt, water, and nitrogenous wastes within the body

Back 1

acute renal failure

Front 2

the retention of excessive amounts of nitrogenous compounds in the blood

Back 2

azotemia

Front 3

a progressive irreversible systemic desease caused by kidney dysfuntion that leads to abnormalities in blood couts and blood chemistry levels

Back 3

chronic renal failure

Front 4

a technique used to normalize blood chemistry in patients with acute or chronic renal failure and to remove blood toxins in some patients who have taken a drug overdose

Back 4

dialysis

Front 5

a group of neurological findings that sometimes occur during or immediately after dialysis thought to result from a disproportionate decrease in osmolality of the extracellular fluid compared with that of the intracellular compartment in the brain or cerebral spinal fluid

Back 5

disequilibrium syndrome

Front 6

an inflammation of the epididymis a tubular section of the male reproductive system that carries sperm from the testicle to the seminal vesicles

Back 6

epididymitis

Front 7

a dialysis pocedure that uses the peritoneum as a diffusible membrane performed to correct an imbalance of fluid or electrolytes in the blood or to remove toxins drugs or other wastes normally excreted by the kidney

Back 7

peritoneal dialysis

Front 8

an inflammation of the kidney parenchyma associated with microbial infection

Back 8

pyelonephritis

Front 9

a condition in which a testicle twists on its spermatic cord, dirupting its own blood supply

Back 9

testicular torsion

Front 10

the presence of excessive amounts of urea and other nitrogenous wastes produced in the blood

Back 10

uremia

Front 11

the inability to urinate

Back 11

urinary retention

Front 12

the urinary system removes waste products from what?

Back 12

Blood

Front 13

stones that originate in the kidney

Back 13

Urinary calculi

Front 14

renal failure can be classified as

Back 14

acute or chronic

Front 15

technique used to normalize blood chemistry

Back 15

Dialysis

Front 16

The signs and symptoms of urinary retention are painful unless caused by:

Back 16

CNS dysfunction

Front 17

Urinary tract infections usually develop first in the:

Back 17

Urethra

Front 18

The pain associated with a kidney stone is described as:

Back 18

Excruciating pain

Front 19

Epididymitis typically results from:

Back 19

Sexually transmitted diseases

Front 20

Unlike epididymitis, testicular torsion:

Back 20

Is a true urological emergency

Front 21

Analgesia for genitourinary pain is generally:

Back 21

Avoided, so that pain will not be masked during the physician’s evaluation

Front 22

The renal failure that results from inadequate perfusion of the kidneys is termed:

Back 22

Prerenal failure

Front 23

One advantage of peritoneal dialysis over hemodialysis is that peritoneal dialysis:

Back 23

Does not require chronic vascular access

Front 24

What is the treatment for the most common ischemic rhythm disturbances that occur during dialysis?

Back 24

Lidocaine

Front 25

. Mild symptoms of headache, restlessness, nausea, and fatigue occurring after dialysis are termed:

Back 25

Disequilibrium syndrome
