What is Urology?
• Urology: study of
the urinary system
and male
reproductive
organs
• Urologist: has
specialized skill
with both the
urinary and male
genital organs

Anatomy of the Genitourinary System
• Kidneys
– Nephrology is the branch of medicine concerned
with the kidneys
– The term renal is an adjective referring to the
kidneys, from ren, Latin word for “kidney”
– Purpose of the kidneys:
– To filter the blood to remove waste products
– To help regulate the body’s blood pressure
– Secrete hormones that assist in body function
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
– Components of the kidney:
– Renal capsule: protective membrane
– Renal fascia: attaches kidney to abdominal wall
– Adrenal gland: one on top of each kidney
– Renal sinus: hollow chamber in kidney
– Renal hilus: entrance to renal sinus
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Three regions of the kidney:
– Renal cortex: Contains blood-filtering mechanisms
– Renal medulla: Collecting chamber, which contains
renal pyramids. The tip of each pyramid is called the
papilla, and the tissue forms structures called renal
columns.
– Renal pelvis: Collects urine as it is produced
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
– Nephrons:
• Located in the cortex and medulla
• Number over a million
• Two components: Renal corpuscle and renal tubule
• Renal corpuscle contains the glomerulus which
trap proteins and red and white blood cells
• Renal tubule receives fluid filtered by the
glomerulus during the process of making urine
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Renal arteries: Major source of blood to the kidneys and
branch off from the abdominal aorta
• Inferior vena cava: The major vein that returns blood
from the kidneys back to the heart
• Urine: A waste product composed of water, certain
electrolytes, and various soluble waste manufactured by
the kidneys during the process of cleaning and filtering
the blood-Urine is sterile when it leaves the body
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Ureters: Carry urine from kidneys to bladder
– One begins in the renal pelvis of each kidney
– Contain smooth muscle that forces urine downward
from the kidneys to the bladder
– Ureteral orifice: The opening from the ureter to
the bladder
– Ureteral sphincter: The fold that covers the
opening and acts like a valve to allow urine into the
bladder but prevents it from backing up into the
ureter.
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Urinary bladder : A hollow sac in the pelvic cavity that
serves to store urine until it is eliminated from the body
– Detrusor muscle/muscularis propria: The layer of
muscle that surrounds the bladder
– Trigone: Base of the bladder formed by the two
ureteral openings and the bladder neck, which opens
into the urethra
• Urethra: The tube that conveys urine from the bladder
to the outside of the body We only have 1!!

Male Genital Organs
• Penis
– Contains the urethra
– Opening at tip: meatus
– Testicles: Contained in the scrotum and produce
sperm and male sex hormones
– Epididymis
– Seminal vesicles
– Prostate gland
– Bulbourethral (Cowper) glands

The Process of Urination
Blood enters glomerulus of kidneys
Fluid (filtrate) → glomerulus → tubule
→ selective reabsorption → into collecting ducts
→ calyces → renal pelvis → ureter (we have 2 of these!!)
→ into bladder → urethra → out of the body
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Common Genitourinary Diseases and
Treatments
• Urinary tract infection (UTI): An infection in the urinary
tract caused by the invasion of disease-causing
microorganisms
– Cystitis: infection of the bladder
– Urethritis: infection of the urethra
Diagnosed by clean-catch urinary specimen or by a cathed
specimen (catheterize)
More than 100,000 baceria for a a CCMS and 10,000 for a
cathed spec
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Antibiotic Treatments for UTI:
– Fluoroquinolones: Cipro, Levaquin, Tequin
– Cephalosporins: Ceftin, Ceclor
– Tetracyclines: Doxycin
– Other types of antibiotics: Amoxicillin (Amoxil),
Augmentin, Macrodantin, or trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole (combination of Bactrim, Cotrim,
and Septra)
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Kidney Disorders
• Kidney failure: The loss of the kidneys’ ability to filter waste
– Acute renal failure: sudden loss of filtering ability
– Chronic renal failure: filtering ability lost over time
Treatment: dialysis
– Hemodialysis: through machine outside the body
• Access by AV fistula or AV graft
– Peritoneal dialysis: abdominal cavity used as filtering
membrane
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Kidney Transplantation: The process of placing a healthy
kidney from one person (donor) into the body of another
person (recipient)
– Living-related transplant: Donor is a living relative
of the recipient
– Cadaveric transplant: Donated kidney comes from a
dead person.
– The ultimate goal: To match a donor kidney with a
person whose body will tolerate the transplanted
kidney
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Nephritis: A broad term for any inflammation of one or
both kidneys
– Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the glomeruli,
causing hematuria (blood in the urine)
– Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS): Scar
tissue that forms on glomeruli in the kidney
– Interstitial nephritis: Inflammation of the spaces
between the renal tubules
– Pyelonephritis: Inflammation of the renal pelvis from
bacteria, treated with antibiotics
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): A genetic disorder
characterized by the grown of fluid-filled sacs in the
kidneys that grow out of the nephrons, leading to kidney
dysfunction
– Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
(ADPKD) : Most common inherited form of the
disease
Treatments:
– Pain medication
– Control of blood pressure
– Dialysis or transplantation
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Kidney stones (renal calculi): Lithiasis means stoneHard pieces of material that form in the kidneys from
crystals that separate form the urine and build up in
inner surfaces of kidneys
– Types of stones:
• Calcium: most common
• Struvite stones: result of UTIs, stag-horn shape
• Uric acid stones: byproduct of metabolism
• Cystine stones: very small percentage of stones
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Treatment for Kidney Stones
– Most pass through urinary system unobstructed
– Surgical interventions:
• Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL): A
method of breaking kidney stones using highenergy shock waves
• Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCN): Surgical
removal of the stone through small abdominal
incision with a nephroscope
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Bladder Disorders
•
–

causing hematuria, difficult/painful urination
(dysuria) and pelvic pain
–
Chronic inflammation of bladder wall
Treatments:
–
Medications: Elmiron, antidepressants (Elavil), pain
medication
–
Surgical treatments:

Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Bladder Cancer
– Superficial (does not spread)
– Invasive (spreads to surrounding organs and tissue)
Treatments: Radiation, chemotherapy, or a combination
of these
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Surgical options for bladder cancer:
– Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB):
Removal of the tumor
• Resection means the surgical removal of tissue or
part or all of an organ
• A cystoscope is inserted through the urethra to the
tumor to remove the tumor
• Remaining cells are burned away with laser or
high-energy electricity, called fulguration
– Radical cystectomy: Entire removal of bladder and
nearby structures that may be cancerous
• Segmental cystectomy: Only part of bladder is
removed
Copyright © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
• Bladder reconstruction: Used when bladder is removed
to collect urine
– Section of bowel is used to recreate bladder
– Urostomy or urinary diversion: Section of intestine is
used to drain urine outside the body through new
connection called ileal conduit to outside pouch
– Koch pouch: Pouch is located inside the abdomen
