Diseases of the genitourinary system

Kidney fistula

The contraction of the kidneys is a developmental defect, which is manifested by the combination of two kidneys in a single organ. This anomaly occurs with a frequency of 3.5% of cases among all renal defects.

Dystopia of the kidney

Dystopia of the kidney is an abnormality of development, characterized by an abnormal position of the kidney structures. This developmental disorder occurs with a frequency of 2.8% of all kidney malformations.

Hypoplasia of the kidney

Hypoplasia of the kidney is an anomaly of development, characterized by a decrease in the size of the kidney. This defect occurs with a frequency of 0.9% among all kidney anomalies.

Kidney doubling

Kidney doubling is the most common malformation of the kidney, which accounts for 10.4% of all urinary tract abnormalities. According to post-mortem results, kidney doubling occurs at a frequency of 1: 150.

Aplasia (agenesis) of the kidney

Agenesis, or aplasia of the kidney - congenital single kidney, the complete absence of the kidney and renal vessels is 1% of all defects. The frequency of anomalies, according to autopsies, is 1 to 1100.

Abnormalities of the renal vessels

Abnormalities of renal vessels are divided into congenital malformations of the structure, quantity, shape and location of arterial vessels and are diagnosed frequently among all abnormalities of the kidneys and urinary tract.

Kidney anomalies

Kidney anomalies are quite common diseases of the urinary system, as they occur with a frequency of 40% among hereditary malformations.

Hiluria

Hiluria - a pathological condition, which is accompanied by the release of lymph in the urine. Urine has a milky color. Hiluria occurs as a result of a fistula between the lymphatic system and the urinary tract.

Bacteriuria

Bacteriuria is a pathological condition characterized by the presence of bacteria in the urine. Bacteriuria is a sign of inflammatory processes in the kidneys and urinary tract.

Pyuria (leukocyturia)

The literal translation of the term "piuria (leukocyturia)" - "pus in the urine" (Greek pyos - pus, uros - urine). The true meaning of the term "pyuria" is acquired in patients with pionephrosis, when antegrade arbitrary drainage into the bladder occurs. Piuria is evidence that an acute inflammatory process develops in the organs of the genitourinary system - cystitis, pyelonephritis, prostatitis, pionephrosis and other diseases.
