| dialysis disequilibrium syndrome | <syndrome> Nausea, vomiting, and hypertension, occasionally with convulsions, developing within several hours after starting haemodialysis for renal failure; apparently caused by too rapid removal of urea from the extracellular fluid compartment, with movement of water into cells, and cerebral oedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linkage disequilibrium | <genetics> The occurrence of some genes together, more often than would be expected. Thus, in the HLA system of histocompatibility antigens, HLA A1 is commonly associated with B8 and DR3 and A2 with B7 and DR2, presumably because the combination confers some selective advantage.
