Urinary system

Urinary Tract Infection The urinary tract is the body’s is a filtration system that makes sure nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and toxins are rejected as waste and come out in liquid form through the bladder and urethra. Any substance unrecognized by this system such as bacteria can cause an infection in this tract system in the body known as urinary tract infection (UTI). The urinary system is made up of the kidneys, the ureters, bladder and urethra. The kidneys take nutrients from

beneficial things to all students. They really need to modernize the restrooms and the transportation, those, to me and many others, are two of the biggest problems at our school. One reason I think we should use the large cash gift to improve our bathroom system is because there is only one bathroom in the main high school building. There is about five hundred and fifty kids on our campus. Think about that, five hundred and fifty divided by two, two hundred and seventy five girls and boys. If we only have

Definition/Description of Disease: (What is it? What's happening in the body?) A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in the body that attacks the kidneys, uterus, urethra and bladder. Women more than men are more prone in getting a UTI in their lifetime. A UTI typically develops when bacteria in the rectal region comes in contact with the urethra and it then makes its way to the urinary tract. There are three types of urinary tract infection (UTI) first one is Urethra (urethritis) which is an infection

healthy kidney contains roughly one million nephrons (the functional unit of the kidney). Here, a capillary is joined with and sends blood into the nephron, which once filtered drains into the ureters, bladder, urethra, and out of the body. If this system falters either before, within, or after filtration, a potential demise may result as with Acute Renal Failure. Although the signs and symptoms may be obscure or indistinguishable, there are exams that are successfully used to diagnose, and subsequently

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, into the bladder. Cystoscopy may be recommended if you have: Urinary tract infections that keep

Nifedipine can be used to help patients pass kidney stones after shock wave lithotripsy. Nifedipine inhibits smooth muscle contractions in ureter; this allows for the stone to pass.1 There have been numerous studies that compared tamsulosin to nifedipine for kidney stones. One double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial by Vicentini and colleagues compared adjuvant nifedipine, tamsulosin, or placebo after lithotripsy. They found that overall stone expulsion rates were 48.6% for nifedipine

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is a strain of bacteria that is defined as primary the causative agent of infections in the urinary tract. Many strains of this bacteria are specifically adapted to overcome host defenses. The signs of a potential urinary tract infection include inflammation and shedding of the epithelial cells that line the urinary bladder. Importance Study into this field is crucial for human and animal populations around the world. The importance of studying this organism includes

Pyelonephritis is also known as a kidney infection. It occurs when there is backflow of urine that travels to the renal pelvis of the kidney. The backflow of urine contains bacteria which interfere with the kidney causing this condition. If this condition is not treated promptly, it can lead to kidney damage. Women have a greater risk of kidney infection than do men. “A woman's urethra is much shorter than a man's, so bacteria have less distance to travel from outside the body to the bladder. The
