20 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Renal fascia
- The connective tissue envelope around the kidney, with relevant anterior and posterior relationships during anatomical dissection.
- Ureteric bud
- An embryologic structure that interacts with metanephric tissue during development of the definitive urinary system.
- Neurovascular bundle
- A group of neural and vascular structures whose preservation may influence function during appropriate pelvic surgery.
- Urachus
- A developmental connection whose persistence can permit urinary leakage between the bladder and the umbilicus.
- Detrusor pressure
- The bladder pressure component obtained by accounting for abdominal pressure during a properly performed urodynamic assessment.
- Compliance
- The relationship between volume change and detrusor pressure change during the relevant portion of bladder filling.
- Outlet resistance
- Resistance to urinary outflow that must be distinguished from weak detrusor contraction when interpreting a low flow.
- Postvoid residual
- Urine remaining after voiding, interpreted with measurement conditions, voided volume, symptoms and the broader clinical context.
- Enteric hyperoxaluria
- Increased intestinal oxalate absorption associated with malabsorption and altered calcium binding within the intestinal lumen.
- Struvite
- A magnesium ammonium phosphate stone associated with suitable urinary conditions and infection by urease-producing organisms.
- Cystinuria
- An inherited transport disorder that can increase urinary cystine and predispose an affected person to recurrent stones.
- Source control
- An intervention addressing an infected focus or obstruction rather than relying solely on antimicrobial drug exposure.
- Grade Group
- A prostate cancer grading framework that conveys information distinct from anatomical stage and the serum PSA value.
- Active surveillance
- Structured monitoring of appropriately selected cancer with planned reassessment rather than immediate definitive treatment or abandonment of follow-up.
- Muscularis propria
- The detrusor muscle layer whose presence and involvement can be critical when staging a bladder tumor specimen.
- Tumor marker
- A measurable biological signal interpreted with histology, imaging and clinical context rather than as universal independent proof.
- Stress incontinence
- Urinary leakage associated with physical effort or increased abdominal pressure rather than necessarily an involuntary detrusor contraction.
- Ischemic priapism
- A prolonged hypoxic cavernosal state that requires urgent professional assessment and treatment to limit irreversible injury.
- Azoospermia
- Absence of sperm in an appropriately examined ejaculate, requiring investigation to distinguish obstructive and production-related mechanisms.
- Neurogenic bladder
- Lower urinary tract dysfunction related to neurological disease, with individualized assessment of storage, emptying and upper-tract risk.
