URINARY SYSTEM INFORMATION- DISEASE CONDITION-3-LESSON 86

-


This lesson is the continuation of the lesson 84. 10. Nephrosclerosis: This is an abnormal condition of thickening of arteriole walls of the kidney. 11. Wilm's tumor: Babyhood malignant tumor of the kidneys. Chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation are the treatments for this tumour. It should be treated before its spread otherwise cannot be cured.

Bladder cancer: This cancer is common in industry worker and in tobacco users. The occurrence of this cancer is in general in men who are above 50 years old. The symptoms of bladder cancer are increased urinary frequency, dysuria, and hematuria. Biopsy of the urinary bladder and cystoscopy are the visual examinations of this cancer. Electrocauterization is the method to remove external tumors, but if the tumor is deep and then invasive methods such as cystectomy, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are the other options of treatment.

Diabetes mellitus: This is condition happened outside the kidneys but related to kidneys. In diabetes mellitus less insulin is secreted. Without insulin body cells cannot use glucose for energy and converted. Unused sugars remain in blood and so more sugars accumulated in the blood makes the condition called hyperglycemia and so excreted more in urine. Kidneys cannot reabsorb the sugars through the renal tubules. Mellitus means sweet. In this condition urine is sweet due to more sugar in urine.

Diabetes insipidus: In this condition water is not reabsorbed from the blood by the renal tubules due to the too little secretion or confrontation of the kidney to the combat of ADH or antidiuretic hormone. The symptoms of this condition are polyuria (excessive urination) and polydipsia (excessive thirst). Urine is more watery in this condition due to the inability of the kidneys to hold up water content.

In the next lesson we will learn about urinary system lab tests. OK.

This post is just to know about a different thing in the medical language, though this word is used very rarely in our day-to-day medical transcription work.

Can you read at least Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.  Now, we will see the meaning of this word.  To know the meaning shall we split the word by word. Okay.  1.  Pneumono 2.  Ultramicrosopic 3.  Silico 4.  Volcano 5.  Conosis. So, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis comprises of 5 medical words and in combination, they give a meaning of a certain kind of disease condition related to lungs.  Now, we will see the meaning of each to get the combined understanding of the longest medical word. Pneumono means lungs, ultramicroscopic - means minute, silico means silicon, volcano means eruption, and conosis means abnorm
