such as those with gouty arthritis
renal colic - ANSWER-moderate or severe pain originating in the flank and
radiating down to the groin usually indicates obstruction of renal pevis
how does anesthesia cause urinary retention - ANSWER-it blocks nerves and
pain signals and is usually given with fluid which results in a combination of a full
bladder without nerve function to empty
glomerulonephritis - ANSWER--loss of negative charge in capillary membrane
and increased permeability of filter slits causing the swelling and inflammation of
glomerulus
-can be immunologic or hereditary
