The document summarizes key aspects of the urinary system and some urinary disorders: The urinary system filters waste from the blood and removes it from the body through urine. Acute renal failure occurs when the kidneys suddenly fail to remove waste, potentially causing dangerous buildup of waste products. Culture and sensitivity testing identifies bacteria in bodily fluids to determine effective antibiotic treatment. Hemodialysis removes waste and excess water from the blood when kidneys fail through filtering outside the body. Nephrotic syndrome damages kidneys and causes protein to leak into urine, with risks like swelling. Urinary tract infections commonly affect the bladder and cause discomfort that antibiotics usually treat.
