Pathology of urinary system-ICD-10-CM GUIDELINES BY BHARATH KUMAR MEDESUN STUDENT

2.  The urinary system, also known as the renal
system, consists of
the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and
the urethra. Each kidney consists of millions
of functional units called nephrons.

3.  eliminate wastes from the body
 regulate blood volume and blood pressure
 control levels of electrolytes and metabolites
 regulate blood pH.

4.  Glomerulonephritis is inflammation of the
glomeruli, which are structures in your
kidneys that are made up of tiny blood
vessels. These knots of vessels help filter
your blood and remove excess fluids. If your
glomeruli are damaged, your kidneys will
stop working properly, and you can go into
kidney failure.

5.  Acute renal failure occurs when your kidneys
suddenly become unable to filter waste
products from your blood.
 Chronic kidney diseases is a condition
characterized by a gradual loss of kidney
function over time.

6.  Bladder cancer is where a growth of abnormal
tissue, known as a tumour, develops in the
bladder lining. In some cases, the tumour
spreads into the surrounding muscles.

7.  Interstitial cystitis is a chronic bladder health
issue. It is a feeling of pain and pressure in
the bladder area. Along with this pain are
lower urinary tract symptoms which have
lasted for more than 6 weeks, without having
an infection or other clear causes.
 It is also known as bladder pain syndrome

8.  Cystocele is a medical condition that occurs
when the tough fibrous wall between a
woman's bladder and her
vagina (the pubocervical fascia) is torn by
childbirth, allowing the bladder to herniate
into the vagina.

9.  UTI is an infection that affects part of
the urinary tract. When it affects the lower
urinary tract it is known as a bladder
infection (cystitis) and when it affects the
upper urinary tract it is known as kidney
infection (pyelonephritis)

10.  Kidney stones also known as calculus results
from a buildup of mineral salts or other such
material in the kidney.kidney stones vary in
size,larger stones can block the flow of
urine,resulting in severe pain and blood in
the urine
