Partial or total (global) loss of memory of recent or remote (past) experiences

A rare congenital condition in which some or all of the cranium ad cerebrum are missing

Is caused by lack of oxygen to parts of the fetus brain during birth

Pain in the head. Community known as headache

disease of brain in which many neurons in the cerebrum die, the cerebral cortex shrinks in size, and there is progressive deterioration in mental function.

traumatic injury to the brain that results in an immediate loss of consciousness for a brief or prolonged period of time

(cva) disruption or blockage of blood flow to the brain, which causes tissue death and an area of necrosis known as an infarct.

takes x-ray images as multiple "slices" through the kidneys. the images can be examined layer by layer to show the exact location of tumors

dye is injected intravenously and flows through the blood and into the kidneys. It outlines the renal pelves, ureters, bladder, and uretha

procedure that uses a radioactive isotope injected intravenously. It is taken up by the kidney and emits radioactive particles that are captured by a scanner and made into an image

procedure that uses xrays to create many individual, closely spaced images, used to view cranium, brain, vertebral column, and spinal cord

procedure to record the electrical activity of the brain

difficulty reading and writing words even through visual acuity and intelligence are normal

inflammation and infection of the brain caused by a virus

condition in which abnormal sensations, such as tingling, burning, or pinpricks, are felt on the skin

Congenital abnormality of the neural tube ( embryonic structure that becomes the fetal brain and Spinal cord)

procedure that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to align the protons in the body and cause them to emit signals that create an image

Acute or chronic condition that occurs because of a tumor, arthritis , or a herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) ( when the contents of an intervertebral disk are forced out through a weasel area in the disk wall

Chronic condition caused by repetitive motions of the hand and wrist often from chronic typing or data entry

an excessive amount of the waste product area in the blood because of renal failure. The kidneys area unable to remove area, and it reaches a toxic level in the blood

inflammation or infection of the bladder. Often caused by bacteria in the urethra that ascend into the bladder, particularly in women because of the short length of the urethra

inflammation and infection of the meninges of the brain or spinal cord caused by a bacterium or virus

chronic, degenerative disease due to an imbalance in the levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine and acetylcholine in the brain

complication that develops following an acute infection with streptococcal bacteria or with viruses.

kidney stone or calculus formation in the urinary system

general word for any disease of the kidney

cancerous tumor that arises from tubules in the nephron

inability to empty the bladder because of an obstruction, nerve damage, or as a side effect of certain drugs

absence of urine production of the kidneys because of acute or chronic renal failure

keytone bodies in the urine

excessive production of urine due to diabetes mellitus or diabetes insipidus

white blood cells in the urine, indicating a urinary tract infection

procedure that uses xrays and radiopaque contrast dye

procedure to remove waste products from the blood of a patient in renal failure

procedure to remove the bladder because of bladder cancer

procedure that involves plastic surgery to reposition the urethal meatus

procedure in which a small piece of kidney is excised for microscopic analysis

is an imaging test that helps reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning.

procedure to surgical remove a diseased or cancerous kidney

procedure that uses ultra high frequency sound waves to produce a two dimensional image to visualize areas of stenosis and plaque and turbulence in the blood flow in the carotid arteries
