Ureter

Hello Mrs. Graham Ma, I heard from your grandson that you needed an explanation about your urinalysis. First off a urinalysis is a an examination of your urine to see if you have diabetes, an infection, any issues with your liver, and any problems with your kidneys. The first thing examined is the color of your urine. Since the color is amber, that is a good sign its normal. One particular issue that I see with your urinalysis is that it is turbid. Turbid means there are things that make your

The indwelling urinary catheter can be inserted for a long period with frequent changes between 4-6 weeks (Taylor, Lillis, LeMone, & Lynn, 2011). However, the Foley can also be a potential source for UTI and bacteriuria (Taylor et al., 2011). The necessity of reducing the patient’s period of time on a Foley and helping him or her to quickly regain normal bladder function is significant. Performing bladder training through clamping the urinary catheter is reported to decrease the frequency of urinary

Renal system main organ is kidney. Kidney filters bloods to excrete waste product from the blood, then the waste product eliminate in the body in the form of urine. There are many renal disorders that is cure or treatment with medication. I would like to discuss about Pyelonephritis. “Blockage anywhere in the urinary tract can lead to backflow problems and the spread of bladder infections into the kidney” (Karch, 2013, p. 873) To go in details, Pyelonephritis is an infection of the kidney parenchyma

There are two hormones in the body that contribute to the control of urine volume of composition: aldosterone and vasopressin. Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone, acts on principal cells to promote water reuptake back into the body. This results in concentrated urine because most of the water is reabsorbed back into the blood. Fluid deprived subjects stimulated more vasopressin in order to retain as much water as possible in order to prevent dehydration as much as possible. As the blood

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

The kidneys play host to a variety of different important functions in our bodies. The kidney’s primary function is the removal of toxins, which is excreted in the form of urine. The second extremely important role of the kidneys is maintaining the body’s acid-base balance. This is balance is maintained by the excretion of fixed acids and the reabsorption of bicarbonate. The hormonal functions of the kidneys include the regulation of blood pressure and the manufacturing of red blood cells. As critical

Often times we may ignore the signs our body is trying to tell us. Mainly due to fear of the unknown. Our kidneys play an important role in our body. They are used to filter out waste through urination. There are many exams that physicians use to help diagnose renal failure and there are some less commonly used because they have no effect of diagnosis of renal failure. Ultra- sounds are the number one imaging modality to help in diagnosing renal failure and angiography of the kidney is the least

Discussion: Clinical microscopy, also known as urinalysis, is the analysis of urine by physical, chemical, and microscopically means to test for the presence of disease, drugs and other abnormalities in a urine sample. Abnormal results of a urinalysis often require more testing and evaluation to uncover the source of the problem. (Echeverry, 2010). Urinalysis can provide that reflects a patient’s general medical health and also a clinical aspect of the patient. Unlike all other bodily fluids, urine

Cystoscopy Cystoscopy is a procedure that is used to help diagnose and sometimes treat conditions that affect that lower urinary tract. The lower urinary tract includes the bladder and the tube that drains urine from the bladder out of the body (urethra). Cystoscopy is performed with a thin, tube-shaped instrument with a light and camera at the end (cystoscope). The cystoscope may be hard (rigid) or flexible, depending on the goal of the procedure. The cystoscope is inserted through the urethra
