UROLOGY AND NEPHROLOGY ANIMATIONS

UTI urinary tract infection 

  UTI is an infection involving the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. These are the structures that urine passes through before being eliminated from the body.

 Infection in the upper urinary tract generally affects the kidneys (pyelonephritis), which can cause fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and other severe symptoms.
The lower urinary tract consists of the bladder and the urethra. Infection in the lower urinary tract can affect the urethra (urethritis) or the bladder (cystitis).

URINARY INCONTINENCE 

 is the involuntary leakage of urine; in simple terms, to wee when you don't intend to. It is the inability to hold urine in the bladder because voluntary control over the urinary sphincter is either lost or weakened.
Painful or frequent urination is a common problem, especially in older men. Urinary tract infections, kidney stones and prostate problems can all produce these symptoms. Frequent urination without pain also can be a side effect of certain medications, or a symptom of diabetes.

 KIDNEY DIALYSIS

 Dialysis is a treatment that does some of the things done by healthy kidneys. It is needed when your own kidneys can no longer take care of your body's needs

Kidney dialysis is a life-support treatment that uses a special machine to filter harmful wastes, salt, and excess fluid from your blood. This restores the blood to a normal, healthy balance.

 KIDNEY TRANSPLANT

Kidney transplantationis the organ transplant of a kidney into a patient with end-stage renal disease. Kidney transplantation is typically classifiedor living-donor transplantation depending on the source of the donor organ.

BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA (BPH)

involves enlargement of the prostate gland. The prostate enlargement in BPH is not malignant. Symptoms include frequent urge to urinate, getting up at night to urinate, difficulty urinating and dribbling of urine.

A normal prostate gland is approximately 20 g in volume, 3 cm in length, 4 cm wide, and 2 cm in depth. As men get older, the prostate gland is variable in size secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia.
