Urinary System
Also called “excretory system”
Consists of:– Two kidneys– Two ureters– One urinary bladder– One urethra
![Page 3: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Kidneys
![Page 4: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Kidney Function
• Remove waste products from blood
• Maintain fluid and electrolyte balance
• Secrete substances that affect blood pressure
• How much urine excreted per day?
1 - 2 liters
![Page 5: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Kidneys (cont’d)
• Minor calyces unite to form major calyces
• Major calyces unite to form renal pelvis
• Renal pelvis drains into ureters
• Hilum - longitudinal slit in medial border for transmission of blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic vessels, and ureter
![Page 6: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Kidneys (cont’d)
Each kidney has:
cortex
medulla
Medulla contains collecting system
Essential microscopic components of kidney called nephrons
Each kidney-contains how many nephrons?
about 1 million
![Page 7: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Anatomy: Nephron
• Glomerulus - filter for blood, allows fine particles and water to pass into capsule
• Renal tubule is continuous with capsule– Proximal convoluted tubule– Nephron loop (loop of Henle)– Distal convoluted tubule
• Distal convoluted tubule opens into collecting ducts
• Collecting ducts drain into minor calyx
![Page 8: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Adrenal Glands(Suprarenal)
Not part of urinary system
Cannot be seen on plain radiographs (need CT)
Regulate stress response through release of various hormones such as adrenaline
![Page 9: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ureters
• Two tubes 10 - 12 “ long
• Retroperitoneal
• Extend from renal pelvis
• Enter bladder at ureteral orifice
• How is urine moved through ureters?– peristalsis
![Page 10: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Urinary Bladder
• Musculomembranous sac situated immediately posterior and superior to symphysis pubis of pelvis
• Serves as Urine reservoir
![Page 11: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• How much fluid can bladder hold?– up to 500 mL
• Internal rethral orifice located in bladder neck
• Area between ureteral openings and urethral orifices is trigone
![Page 12: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Urethra
• Carries urine from bladder to?– exterior of body
• How long is it in females? – About 1.5
• In males? – About 7 to 8
• Sphincter at neck of bladder
• Male urethra contains following parts:– Prostate– Membranous area– Spongy area
![Page 13: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
IVU- Intravenous Urogram !
Formerly erroneously known as IVP-Intravenous pyelogram!
pyelo refers to renal pelvis and calyces only
But study also shows ureters, bladder, and sometimes urethra
![Page 14: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Indications For Urography
• Demonstrate physiologic function and structure of urinary system
• Evaluate abd. Masses, renal cysts and tumors• Urolithiasis (stones)
• Pyelonephritis (Inflammation of kidney)
• Hydronephrosis (distension of renal pelvis and calyces with urine)
• Trauma• Renal hypertension
• Pre-op evaluation
![Page 15: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Contraindications
• Inability to filter contrast medium from blood
• Allergy to contrast
• Abnormal BUN and Creatinine levels
![Page 16: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Preparation Of Pt
• Pt on low residue diet for 1-2 days prior to exam
• Laxative taken day prior to clean out bowel
• NPO after midnight
• Pts with multiple myeloma, high uric acid levels, or diabetes should be well hydrated before IVP exam
(Dehydration leads to increased risk of renal failure)
![Page 17: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Contrast Media
• Used to visualize urinary tract adequately
• Iodinated, water-soluble contrast administered intravenously
• Antegrade filling
![Page 18: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Contrast Media
Excretory urography (IVU) generally uses a 50 to 70% iodine solution
Lower concentrations required for bladder studies due to large amount required to fill bladder (30%)
Non-ionic contrast is generally usedMore expensive, but-Patients less likely to have reactions with nonionic
![Page 19: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Contrast Media and Adverse Reactions
Do not leave pt. alone for first 5 minutes after injection!
Mild reactions:warmthflushinghives, Nausea/Vomiting, respiratory edema (accumulation of fluid in
lungs)
Severe reactions:Anaphylactic shock: sudden allergic response: sudden drop in blood
pressure and difficulty breathing
Death in a matter of minutes
![Page 20: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
IVU Procedure
Scout – KUB
Contrast injected
Timed sequence of films obtained until bladder begins to fill
Take Immediate image of kidneys5 minute image of abd. or kidneysThen apply Compression
(Take tomograms)
![Page 21: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ureteral Compression
• (Because of improvement of contrast agents, compression no longer generally used)
• Compression device centered at ASIS over distal ends of ureters
With as much compression as pt can tolerate!
• Inhibits flow of urine into bladder
• Distends renal pelvis and calyces
![Page 22: The Urinary System Chapter 18 8 31 2012 online ed.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f285503460f94c40acc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Radiation Protection
