Slide 2-

The urinary system: its functions and its organs The urinary system, also referred to as the genitourinary system (abbreviation GU), is responsible for filtering waste products out of the blood and removing them from the body. It is also responsible for adjusting water and electrolyte levels as well as maintaining a correct pH. It consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra.

In this presentation I will identify and present the following abbreviations : KUB RP UTI BUN cysto It is important to keep in mind that the correct spelling and capitalizing of these abbreviations is very important. Abbreviations
Slide 5-

KUB to detect kidney stones Here is an image of a KUB X-ray which shows two large stones in the urinary system.
Slide 6-

“RP”: retrograde pyelogram “RP” is the abbreviation for retrograde pyelogram which is a diagnostic procedure. An RP is a type of X-ray in which dye is inserted through the urethra via catheter to outline the bladder, ureters and renal pelvis. • A retrograde pyelogram may be used in patients suspected to have an obstruction, such as a tumor, stone, blood clot, or stricture (narrowing) in the kidneys or ureters.
Slide 7-

“UTI”: Urinary Tract Infection “UTI” is the abbreviation for urinary tract infection. A UTI is usually caused by bacteria which infects any of the organs of the urinary system. It usually begins with cystitis, inflammation of the urinary bladder, and can ascend into the ureters and kidneys if not properly treated right away with antibiotics. • Since women have shorter urethras it is easier for germs to travel to their bladder and so it is most common for them to have urinary tract infections then men. • Antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin and nitrofurantoin are used to treat such bacterial infections of the urinary tract.
Slide 8-

“BUN”: blood urea nitrogen “BUN” is the abbreviation of blood urea nitrogen which is a clinical laboratory test. This blood test measures the level of nitrogenous waste (urea) that is in the blood to determine how well our kidneys are functioning. • Healthy kidneys filter urea and other waste products from our blood. The filtered waste products then leave our body in urine. • If a blood urea nitrogen test reveals that urea nitrogen levels are higher than normal, it probably indicates that the kidneys aren't working properly and that nitrogenous waste isn’t being evacuated from the body.
Slide 9-

“cysto”: cystoscoopy “cysto” is the abbreviation for cystoscopy. A cystoscopy is an endoscopic procedure which consists of the visual examination of the urinary bladder using an instrument called a cystoscope. The cystoscope is inserted into the urethra and slowly advanced into the bladder. Cystoscopy to look at areas of the bladder and urethra that usually do not show up well on X-rays. Tiny surgical instruments can be inserted through the cystoscope that allow the doctor to remove samples of tissue (biopsy) or collect samples of urine. Small bladder stones and some small growths can be removed during cystoscopy. This may eliminate the need for later surgery.
