kidney stones
◉ Cystitis.
Answer: Inflammation of the bladder
Common pathogens are E. Coli and staphylococcus saphrophyticus

pelvis.
◉ Transitional cell carcinoma.

syndrome)

-diabetic neuropathy
◉ Nephrotic syndrome.
Answer: loss of large amounts of plasma protein, usually albumin,
through urine due to an increased permeability of the glomerular
membrane
