Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ESWL stands for Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy, which is a non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves to break up kidney stones or other urinary calculi into small pieces that can be passed out of the body through urine. ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease) is a condition where the kidneys have permanently failed and dialysis or kidney transplant is required. VCUG (Voiding Cystourethrogram) is a diagnostic imaging test that looks at the bladder and urethra while the patient is urinating. CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) is a type of dialysis where the patient's own peritoneum is used as a membrane to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. It is not used for the destruction of urinary calculi.
