| Ellis type II | <nephrology> A type of nephritis that is characterised by low serum albumin, large amount of protein in the urine and swelling (oedema). Swelling, weight gain, high blood pressure and anorexia are key features. Nephrotic syndrome can be seen with a number of illness that cause damage to the kidney glomerulus.

Also, a group or division of animals having a certain typical or characteristic structure of body maintained within the group. <chemistry> A simple compound, used as a mode or pattern to which other compounds are conveniently regarded as being related, and from which they may be actually or theoretically derived. The fundamental types used to express the simplest and most essential chemical relations are hydrochloric acid, HCl; water, H2O; ammonia, NH3; and methane, CH4. 5.

| type 1 dextrocardia | Displacement of the heart to the right side of the chest with mirror transposition of the cardiac chambers together with transposition of the abdominal viscera. Synonym: type 1 dextrocardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type 1 diabetes | <endocrinology> Also referred to as juvenile onset diabetes. Underlying cause is likely genetic. Usually treated with daily insulin dosing. Insulin is necessary for the body to properly utilise glucose. Without insulin, glucose accumulates in the bloodstream. (27 Sep 1997) |
| type 1 glycogenosis | Glycogenosis due to glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency, resulting in accumulation of excessive amounts of glycogen of normal chemical structure, particularly in liver and kidney. Synonym: Gierke's disease, glucose-6-phosphatase hepatorenal glycogenosis, von Gierke's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Type 1 GM1 gangliosidosis | One of the hereditary metabolic diseases of infancy; resembles Tay-Sachs disease, except other organ systems (bone, liver, kidney) are affected. Synonym: familial neuroviscerolipidosis, pseudo-Hurler disease, Type 1 GM1 gangliosidosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type 2 astrocyte | <pathology> A glial cell found in vertebrate brain, named for its characteristic star like shape. Astrocytes lend both mechanical and metabolic support for neurons, regulating the environment in which they function. See: oligodendrocytes. (18 Nov 1997) |
| type 2 dextrocardia | Dextrocardia with mirror transposition of the cardiac chambers but without displacement of the abdominal viscera. Synonym: type 2 dextrocardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type 2 diabetes | <endocrinology> Also referred to as adult-onset diabetes. More common in the middle-age, overweight individual. Usually treated by diet control, weight reduction or oral hypoglycemic agents. (27 Sep 1997) |
| type 2 glycogenosis | Glycogenosis due to lysosomal alpha-1,4-glucosidase deficiency, resulting in accumulation of excessive amounts of glycogen of normal chemical structure in heart, muscle, liver, and nervous system. Synonym: generalised glycogenosis, Pompe's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type 3 dextrocardia | Displacement and rotation of the heart into the right side of the chest but without mirror transposition of the cardiac chambers. Synonym: dextroversion of the heart, false dextrocardia, type 3 dextrocardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type 3 glycogenosis | Glycogenosis due to amylo-1,6-glucosidase deficiency, resulting in accumulation of abnormal glycogen with short outer chains in liver and muscle. Synonym: Cori's disease, debranching deficiency limit dextrinosis, limit dextrinosis, Forbes' disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
