elderly female patient with blood in urine
Urinary anatomy
urethra
in men more than just a urinary duct; it also serves as a conduit for semen and sperm during sexual acts
in woman reaching the urethral opening, urine passes through the urethral sphincter. This is a muscular structure in the urethra that helps hold urine inside the body until it's released.
descending aorta
supplies oxygenated blood to all of the abdominal and pelvic organs and the legs.
bladder
stores urine, allowing urination to be infrequent and controlled.
renal vein
draining blood from the ureter, which transports urine away from the kidneys to the urinary bladder
renal column
consists of lines of blood vessels and urinary tubes and a fibrous material.
ureter
a tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder
renal pelvis
collects the urine and passes it to the ureter for excretion. As blood passes through the glomerulus, water, mineral salts, glucose (sugar), metabolic products, and other substances are filtered out of the blood. Red blood cells and proteins are not filtered out.
right kidney
filters blood , remove wastes, control the body's fluid balance, and keep the right levels of electrolytes.
medullary pyramid
transport urine from the cortical, or outer, part of the kidney, where urine is produced, to the calyces, or cup-shaped cavities in which urine collects before it passes through the ureter to the bladder
adrenal glands
help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions
inferior vena cava
It carries deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body to the right atrium of the heart
common iliac artery
provides blood to the pelvic organs including the urinary bladder, the man's prostate gland, and the woman's uterus and vagina
renal artery
vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the kidneys. It branches off the aorta and travels into the kidney through the hilum. From there it branches further to supply blood to the interior components of the kidney
structure of nephron
bowmans capsule
first convoluted tubule
efferent arteriole
second convoluted tubule
collecting duct
loop of henle
capillary network
open to pelvis
osteporosis
A condition in which bones become weak and brittle
DM ll
A chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar
hypertension
A condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high.
osteporosis
can cause kidney stones
diabetes ll mellitus
can often make your urologic conditions even worse because it can impact blood flow, nerves and sensory function in the body
high blood presure
uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause arteries around the kidneys to narrow, weaken or harden. These damaged arteries are not able to deliver enough blood to the kidney tissue.
what is causeing blood in urine
kidney stones
blocking the flow of urine and causing bleeding and infection. Smaller stones can block the flow of urine through the ureters and urethra, causing the infectiob
kidney infection
The nephrons in the kidneys are supplied with a dense network of blood vessels, and high volumes of blood flow through them. Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause arteries around the kidneys to narrow, weaken or harden.
