Explanation:

Match kidney stones definition

The definition "the presence of stones in the kidney" corresponds to the suffix "-iasis" (presence of/condition) combined with "nephr/o" (kidney) and "lith" (stone). This matches "nephrolithiasis".

Match urethral narrowing definition

The definition "abnormal narrowing of the urethra" corresponds to "urethr/o" (urethra) and "-stenosis" (abnormal narrowing). This matches "urethrostenosis".

Match kidney dilation definition

The definition "the dilation of one or both kidneys" corresponds to "hydro-" (water/fluid accumulation causing distension) and "nephr/o" (kidney) with the suffix "-osis" (condition). This matches "hydronephrosis".

Match emotional fatigue definition

The definition "an ill-defined medical condition characterized by lassitude, fatigue, headache, and irritability, associated chiefly with emotional disturbance" corresponds to "neur/o" (nerve) and "-asthenia" (weakness/lack of strength). This matches "neurasthenia".
