Vesical calculi (bladder calculi) are those found in the urinary bladder; renal calculi (kidney calculi) are those found in the pelvis of the kidney. Types of urinary calculi are often classified by chemical composition or pattern of chemical composition distribution. Urinary calculi types include alternating or combination, cystine, decubitus, encysted, fibrin, hemp seed, matrix, mulberry, oxalate, struvite, urostealith, and xanthic calculi. (12 Dec 1998) |

| urinary carboxypeptidase | <enzyme> From human urine; can be distinguished from kininase I, kininase II and enkephalin convertase Registry number: EC 3.4.17.- Synonym: kininase one-an'-a-half (26 Jun 1999) |
| urinary casts | Cast's discharged in the urine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urinary catheterization | Employment or passage of a catheter into the bladder (urethral c.) or kidney (ureteral c.) for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| urinary concentration test | A test of renal tubular function whereby the patient is dehydrated for a measured period of time and the specific gravity of the urine is subsequently determined. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urinary cyst | A cyst containing extravasated urine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urinary diversion | Temporary or permanent diversion of the flow of urine through the ureter away from the bladder in the presence of a bladder disease or after cystectomy. There is a variety of techniques: direct anastomosis of ureter and bowel, cutaneous ureterostomy, ileal, jejunal or colon conduit, ureterosigmoidostomy, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| urinary exertional incontinence | Leakage of urine as a result of coughing, straining, or some sudden voluntary movement, due to weakness of the fascia muscles and at the neck of the bladder. Synonym: urinary exertional incontinence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urinary fever | An elevation of temperature, usually slight and transitory, following catheterization of the urethra, or the passage of blood clots, gravel, or a calculus. Synonym: catheter fever, urethral fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urinary fistula | An abnormal passage communicating with the urinary tract. (12 Dec 1998) |
| urinary incontinence, stress | The involuntary discharge of urine as a result of anatomic displacement which exerts an opening pull on the bladder orifice. It often occurs during coughing or other forceful stresses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antibody-coated bacteria test, urinary | Fluorescent antibody technique for visualizing antibody-bacteria complexes in urine. The presence or absence of antibody-coated bacteria in urine correlates with localization of urinary tract infection in the kidney or bladder, respectively. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| anti-infective agents, urinary | Substances capable of killing agents causing urinary tract infections or of preventing them from spreading. (12 Dec 1998) |
| apex of urinary bladder | The junction of the superior and anteroinferior surfaces of the bladder, continuous above with the median umbilical ligament. Synonym: apex vesicae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood, urinary | Medically called haematuria, blood in the urine can be microscopic or gross. Evaluating haematuria requires consideration of the entire urinary tract. Tests used for the diagnosis of haematuria include the intravenous pyelogram (IVP), cystoscopy, and urine cytology. Management of haematuria depends upon the underlying cause. (12 Dec 1998) |
| body of urinary bladder | The portion of the bladder between the apex and fundus. Synonym: corpus vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reproductive and urinary physiology | Physiology of the human and animal body, male or female, in the reproductive process and the physiology of the urinary tract. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mucosa of urinary bladder | The inner coat of the urinary bladder. Synonym: tunica mucosa vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular coat of urinary bladder | Muscular layer of the wall of the urinary bladder. Synonym: tunica muscularis vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pregnancy danger from urinary tract infection | A pregnant woman who develops a uti should be treated promptly to avoid premature delivery of her baby and other risks such as high blood pressure. Some antibiotics are not safe to take during pregnancy. In selecting the best treatment, doctors consider various factors such as the drug's effectiveness, the stage of pregnancy, the mother's health, and potential effects on the foetus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serosa of urinary bladder | Serous coat of the urinary bladder; the visceral peritoneum covering the roof and lateral walls of the urinary bladder. Synonym: tunica serosa vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphincter muscle of urinary bladder | The complete collar of smooth muscle cells of the neck of the urinary bladder which extend distally to surround the preprostatic sportion of the male urethra. There is not a comparable structure in the neck of the femoral bladder; the internal urethral sphincter may exist to prevent reflux of semen into bladder. Synonym: annulus urethralis, internal urethral sphincter, musculus sphincter vesicae, preprostate urethral sphincter, proximal urethral sphincter, sphincter muscle of urinary bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neck of urinary bladder | The lowest part of the bladder formed by the junction of the fundus and the inferolateral surfaces. Synonym: cervix vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress urinary incontinence | Leakage of urine as a result of coughing, straining, or some sudden voluntary movement, due to weakness of the fascia muscles and at the neck of the bladder. Synonym: urinary exertional incontinence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| detrusor muscle of urinary bladder | The muscular coat of the bladder. Synonym: musculus detrusor urinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incontinence, urinary | Inability to hold urine in the bladder. This is due to failure of voluntary control over the urinary sphincters resulting in involuntary passage of urine (wetting). (12 Dec 1998) |
