Ureteral StentsAureteral stentis a soft plastic tube with holes in it. It’s temporarily inserted into a ureter to help drain urine into the bladder.

Cystoscopy (cystourethroscopy) is a diagnostic procedure that is used to look at the bladder (lower urinary Cystoscopy is a diagnostic procedure which is used to view the bladder, collect urine samples, and examine the prostate gland. This procedure also enables biopsies to be taken.

Cystoscopy (cystourethroscopy) is a diagnostic procedure that uses an endoscope especially designed for urological use to examine the bladder, lower urinary tract, and prostate gland. It can also be used to collect urine samples, perform biopsies, and remove small stones.

During a physical examination, a health care provider studies a patient's body to determine the presence or absence of physical problems. A typical physical examination includes: Inspection (looking at the body; Palpation (feeling the body with hands; Auscultation (listening to sounds; Percussion (producing sounds.

Retrograde urethrography involves the use of x-ray pictures to provide visualization of structural problems or injuries to the urethra. Purpose Retrograde urethrography is used, in combination with a doctor ' s observation and other tests, to establish a diagnosis for individuals, almost exclusively men, who may have structural problems of the urethra.

Urinalysis is the physical, chemical, and microscopic examination of urine. It involves a number of tests to detect and measure various compounds that pass through the urine.
|
|
Urinalysis is a diagnostic physical, chemical, and microscopic examination of a urine sample (specimen). Specimens can be obtained by normal emptying of the bladder (voiding) or by a hospital procedure called catheterization.
|
 |
A urinalysis is a group of manual and/or automated qualitative and semi-quantitative tests performed on a urine sample. A routine urinalysis usually includes the following tests: color, transparency, specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, blood , bilirubin, nitrite, urobilinogen, and leukocyte esterase.

A urine dipstick is a colorimetric chemical assay that can be used to determine the pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketone, bilirubin, urobilinogen, blood, leukocyte, and nitrite levels of an individual ' s urine. It consists of a reagent stick-pad, which is immersed in a fresh urine specimen and then withdrawn.

Urine typically contains epithelial cells shed from the urinary tract. Urine cytology evaluates this urinary sediment for the presence of cancerous cells from the lining of the urinary tract, and it is a convenient noninvasive technique for follow-up analysis of patients treated for urinary tract cancers.
|
|
Urinalysis is an important test used in diagnosing diseases of the genitourinary tract. Urine is examined for pH and specific gravity by chemical and direct microscopic methods.
|
|
The urine specimen collection is a procedure used to obtain a sample of urine from a patient for diagnostic tests. Purpose The purpose of obtaining a urine sample is to test for any abnormalities that may be present, such as bacteria , ketones, or drugs.
|
 |
Uroflowmetry is a test that measures the volume of urine excreted (released) from the body, the speed with which it was excreted, and how long the excretion took.
|
|
A urine flow test evaluates the speed of urination, or amount voided per second, and the total time of urination. Purpose A urine flow test is utilized to determine bladder function abnormalities, including a narrowed or obstructed urethra (the outflow passage from the bladder) and a weakened bladder muscle (detrusor).
|
 |
A voiding cystourethrogram is an x-ray image of the bladder and urethra during urination. The urethra carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Usually, the urinary bladder does not show up well on x-rays. In this examination, a special contrast dye fills the bladder, to allow for better x-ray images. X-ray images are taken in various positions with the bladder full of contrast dye. Images are then taken while the bladder is being emptied.
