What is the importance of water balance?
What is the importance of water balance?/Water balance means the inflows to any water system or area are equal to its outflows plus the change in storage during a time interval. In hydrology, a water balance equation can be used to describe the flow of water in and out of a system. A system can

Urine Culture – Indications, Procedure, Mechanism, Result
A urine culture is a test to find germs (such as bacteria) in the urine that can cause an infection. Bacteria can enter through the urethra and cause a urinary tract infection (UTI). A sample of urine is added to a substance that promotes the growth of germs. If no germs grow, the culture is negative.

Urine Elimination – Anatomy, Mechanism, Functions
Urine Elimination/Urine transport means the transport of water, ions, and secreted molecules that leave the collecting duct of the many nephrons of the kidney and flow into the ureters. The ureters are two tubes that drain urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Each ureter is a muscular tube that drains into the bladder. Composition

Urine Storage – Anatomy, Mechanism, Functions
Urine Storage /Urine transport means the transport of water, ions, and secreted molecules that leave the collecting duct of the many nephrons of the kidney and flow into the ureters. The ureters are two tubes that drain urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Each ureter is a muscular tube that drains into the bladder.

Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare and aggressive variant of chronic pyelonephritis. It usually occurs due to chronic nephrolithiasis and infection. The diagnosis is often confused with renal cell carcinoma, and a CT scan, as well as histology of the mass, helps to confirm the diagnosis. Since it can involve adjacent structures or organs, early diagnosis

Cystinuria – Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
Cystinuria is a condition characterized by the buildup of the amino acid cysteine, a building block of most proteins, in the kidneys and bladder. As the kidneys filter blood to create urine, cystine is normally absorbed back into the bloodstream. Cystine stones are due to an inherited defect in the transport of the amino acid cystine

Acute Kidney Colic – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Acute Kidney Colic/Acute renal colic is severe pain resulting from the presence of a stone in the urinary system. The stone can be present anywhere along the path between the kidneys and the urethra. Nephrolithiasis refers to kidney stones, or renal calculi, and, in conjunction with ureteral calculi, are the primary cause of acute renal
