organ to inject or remove fluid
nephron - CORRECT ANSWER - structural and functional units of the kidney containing
renal glomeruli and tubules
nephrostomy - CORRECT ANSWER - procedure whereby a tube is placed directly into
the renal pelvis to drain urine directly from one or both kidneys
nocturnal enuresis - CORRECT ANSWER - nighttime voiding without awakening
overflow incontenience - CORRECT ANSWER - occurs when a bladder is overly full and
bladder pressure exceeds sphincter pressure, resulting in involuntary leakage of urine
pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises) - CORRECT ANSWER - improve the strength of
pelvic floor muscles and consist of repetitive contractions of muscle groups
pyelonephritis - CORRECT ANSWER - infection of the kidneys (upper urinary tract)
,reflex incontinence - CORRECT ANSWER - condition causes loss of voluntary control of
urination; but the micturition reflex pathway often remains intact, allowing urination to occur
without sensation of the need to void.
renal calculus - CORRECT ANSWER - kidney stone
renal replacement therapy - CORRECT ANSWER - term used to encompass life-
supporting treatments for renal failure. It includes: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis,
hemofiltration and renal transplantation.
residual urine - CORRECT ANSWER - volume of urine remaining in the bladder after a
normal voiding; the bladder normally is almost completely empty after micturation
specific gravity - CORRECT ANSWER - the weight or degree of concentration of a
substance compared with an equal volume of water
