Treatment for Imperforate Hymen The hymen is a thin layer of tissue that is located at the opening of the vagina. Females are born with a hymen. The hymen may be circular, have a small opening (perforated) to the vagina, or completely close the opening (imperforate hymen) of the vagina. An imperforate hymen blocks the opening of the vagina and may cause problems, such as: • A buildup and trapped mucus in the vagina (mucocolpos). • A buildup and trapped menstrual blood in the vagina (hematocolpos)

The Department of Urology The department of urology diagnoses and treats any illness or condition that affects the urinary system. Some common conditions treated by this department are; end- stage renal disease (ESRD), enuresis, fistula, hydronephrosis, polycystic kidney disease (PKD), Wilms tumor, anuria, dysuria, and acute tubular necrosis (ATN).To treat and diagnose these conditions a urologist may use some of the following tests and procedures; one of the two dialysis methods hemodialysis and

INTRODUCTION Kidney cancer is a metabolic disease; comprised of several cancers in the kidney, each with a different histology and clinical course (Linehan, 2011). Kidney cancer occurs when abnormal kidney cells uncontrollably proliferate, developing into aggressive tumours that may metastasize to other parts of the body. GENERAL OVERVIEW In 2013, kidney cancer was the 9th most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, producing 3,059 new cases of kidney cancer, in which 1,987 were male and 1,071

DATE OF PROCEDURE [Date]. BRIEF HISTORY Ms. [Name] a 45-year-old who had an incidentally noted urethral diverticulum on CAT scan. She does describe a persistent microhematuria, as well as some mild voiding discomfort. She underwent an MRI which showed a circumferential septated diverticulum. She presents today for urodynamics for evaluation. On urodynamics she demonstrated a stable filling with no evidence of detrusor overactivity. Her sensation was normal. Her bladder capacity was approximately

Rayannon Willett Lab Urinalysis 4/6/15 A urinalysis is a test which evaluates a sample of urine. This examination is used to detect and estimate various abnormal conditions, such as kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and even diabetes. A urinalysis includes investigating the appearance, concentration, and content of the urine. By evaluating these aspects of urine, one can assess the overall health, diagnose a medical condition, or monitor a medical condition of an individual (WCCC.). Unknown

Every day, 180 liters of filtrate is passing through nephron tubule, and not all of them are excreted. Instead, reabsorption occurs, which is the process of water and dissolved substances transporting back into the blood. Kidney usually throws everything and takes back only what body needs, and this is how kidney removes drugs and toxic compounds. Loop of Hele conserves water and minimizes the volume of the filtrate. It is part of the nephron tubule. Finally the last step, urine goes through collecting

The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. It consists of a renal corpuscle where fluid can be filtered and a renal tubule where the filtered fluid flows through. Nephrons perform three basic functions, Glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. Glomerular filtration occurs as pressure (glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure) forces water and dissolved blood components through the endothelial pores of the capillaries, basement membrane, and on through the filtration

AP2 Week 3 Weekly Summary-Functions of the Urinary System The urinary system has many vital functions to the body. The kidneys are part of the urinary system. Kidneys filter blood plasma breaking down wastes and then excrete those wastes in the form of urea. The job of the glomerulus is to filter blood. Blood volume as water and sodium are filtered and eliminated in urine. Cardiac output is affected by blood volume which causes blood pressure changes. The kidneys contribute to acid base

The Kidneys are in charge of regulating the body’s blood flow and keeping homeostasis maintaining in the body. The kidneys are able to do this by circulation of blood and by the filtration of nephrons. Nephrons actually produce urine as well as removing waste and excess substances that are not need in the system. The Kidneys have millions of nephrons that all act as a filtration system for the blood. The body has roughly 8 liters circulating the body however only 20% finds it ways to the kidneys
