  3. Diagnostic Procedures • Cystoscopy – also known as cysto • Visual examination of the urinary bladder using a cystoscope

  4. Diagnostic Procedures • Intravenous pyelogram • KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder) is a radiographic study of these structures without the use of a contrast medium. Also referred to as a flat-plate of the abdomen • Intravenous urography • Excretory urography • Retrograde urography

  5. Diagnostic Procedures • Cystography • Voiding cystourethrography • Urinalysis • Used to test for • Blood • Protein • Sugars • Drugs • Toxins

  6. Treatment Procedures • Medications • Diuretics • Medications administered to increase urine secretion to rid the body of excess sodium and water

Treatment Procedures • Kidneys cont. • Removal of kidney stones • Lithotripsy • The destruction of a kidney stone with the use of ultrasonic waves traveling through water • Also known as extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy or ESWL • http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Yl8Qy79aLk0 • Nephrolithotomy • Surgical removal of a kidney stone through an incision in the kidney

  10. A review will be posted on my website It would be a good idea to take a look at it!
