HIM 361 Ch. 7 Test with Complete
Solutions Graded A+
kidneys, ureters, and bladder (KUB) (without contrast) - Answer-x-ray examination
(without contrast) of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder
renal angiography (with contrast) - Answer-x-ray exam with contrast of the blood
vessels of the kidney
retrograde pyelogram (RP) - Answer-x-ray imaging of the renal pelvis and ureters after
injection of contrast through a urinary catheter into the ureters from the bladder (useful
for locating stones and obstructions)
voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) (with contrast) - Answer-x-ray image of the urinary
bladder and urethra obtained while the patient is voiding
ultrasonography - Answer-imaging of urinary tract structures using high-frequency
sound waves
MRI urography - Answer-changing magnetic field produces images of the kidney and
surrounding structures in three planes of the body
cystoscopy (diagnostic procedure: does not resolve anything or treat the patient, just
diagnoses them) (cysto for short) - Answer-visual examination of the urinary bladder
dialysis - Answer-complete separation of wastes from the blood when the kidneys fail
hemodialysis (HD) - Answer-using an artificial kidney machine to remove wastes from
the blood
peritoneal dialysis (PD) - Answer-dialysis in which the patient's own peritoneum is used
as the dialyzing membrane instead of a machine. A catheter is used to insert fluid into
the peritoneum and to take the fluid out.
lithotripsy - Answer-crushing of a stone
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) - Answer-crushing of stones using
shockwaves
, renal angioplasty - Answer-dilation of narrowed areas in renal arteries using a balloon
renal biopsy - Answer-removal of kidney tissue for microscopic examination
renal transplantation - Answer-surgical transfer of a kidney from a donor to a recipient
urinary catheterization - Answer-methods of placing a tube into the bladder through the
urethra to drain or collect urine
AKI - Answer-acute kidney injury
BUN - Answer-blood urea nitrogen
CAPD - Answer-continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (when the patient is on
peritoneal dialysis they can still walk around)
CKD - Answer-chronic kidney disease
CRF - Answer-chronic renal failure
C&S - Answer-culture and sensitivity
cysto - Answer-short for cystoscopic examination
ESWL - Answer-extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
HD - Answer-hemodialysis
IVP - Answer-intravenous pyelogram
K+ - Answer-potassium (an electrolyte)
Na+ - Answer-sodium (an electrolyte)
KUB - Answer-kidney, ureter, bladder
PD - Answer-peritoneal dialysis
PKD - Answer-polycystic kidney disease
PUL - Answer-percutaneous ultrasound lithotripsy
RP - Answer-retrograde pyelography
UA - Answer-urinary analysis
