Some of Urologic Diseases and Other Common Urologic Conditions

Journal of Nephrology and Urology is an Open Access peer-reviewed publication that discusses current research and advancements in diagnosis and management of kidney disorders as well as related epidemiology, pathophysiology and molecular genetics

The term “urologic diseases” describes a wide variety of conditions, all related to the filtering and carrying of urine out of the body. These diseases can affect men, women, and children of all ages.
These diseases affect very specific parts of the body. In females, they involve the urinary tract. In males, they affect the urinary tract or the reproductive organs.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an enlarged prostate. It is an increase in the size of the prostate gland. BPH is very common in older men. It is not directly connected to prostate cancer.
The symptoms of BPH are caused by the pressure that a larger prostate can place on the urethra. The urethra is the narrow tube that carries urine from the bladder and out of the body.

Urinary incontinence is a loss of bladder control. It results in the unwanted leakage of urine. This condition can be inconvenient and embarrassing, but it is far from uncommon.

There are a number of things that can cause incontinence.

• Diabetes
• pregnancy or childbirth
• overactive bladder
• enlarged prostate
• weak bladder muscles
• weak sphincter muscles (muscles supporting the urethra)
• urinary tract infections
• diseases including Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis
• injury to the spinal cord

Kidney and Ureteral Stones
Stones develop in the kidneys when there are crystals in the urine and small particles surround and collect on these crystals. Ureteral stones are ones that move from the kidney into the ureter (the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder).
These stones can block urine flow and cause a considerable amount of pain. Many people end up expelling small stones from the body without medical help, but larger stones may result in blockage, which is problematic.

Some other common urological conditions include:

• prostate cancer
• bladder cancer
• bladder prolapse
• hematuria (blood in the urine)
• erectile dysfunction (ED)
• interstitial cystitis (also called painful bladder syndrome)
• overactive bladder
• prostatitis (swelling of the prostate gland)

The journal invites different types of articles including original research article, review articles, short note communications, case reports, Editorials, letters to the Editors and expert opinions & commentaries from different regions for publication.
