| 영문 | bleeding time | 한글 | 출혈시간 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 몸에 상처가 나서 출혈이 있었을 경우에 피가 멎는데 까지 걸리는 시간을 출혈시간이라고 한다. 사람의 몸에 상처가 나서 출혈이 있을 경우에 이것을 막고 피를 더이상 나지 않게 하는 것을 지혈이라고 한다. 지혈의 과정에는 크게 두 가지 단계가 있다. 첫번째 단계는 혈소판들이 상처가 나서 손상된 혈관의 부위를 막는 것이다. 이렇게 하면 우선 혈관의 손상부위로부터 피가 나오는 것을 막을 수가 있다. 다음의 단계는 상처를 막고 있는 혈소판위에 여러 가지 물질들이 작용해서 더욱 단단하게 하여 상처가 난 혈관에서 피가 새는 것을 영구히 막는 것이다. 쉽게 말하면 혈소판은 벽돌에 해당하는 것이고 두번째 과정에 참여하는 물질들은 시멘트에 해당하는 것이다. 이 두 과정이 완전할 경우에 지혈이 순조롭게 일어난다. 출혈시간은 위에서 설명한 지혈의 두가지 과정 중에서 첫번째 과정에 의해서만 영향을 받는다. 즉 손상된 혈관을 막아주는 벽돌에 해당하는 혈소판의 기능만 정상일 경우에 출혈시간은 정상으로 나온다. 만약 혈소판의 기능에 이상이 있는 경우에는 자연히 출혈시간이 길어진다. |

| 설명 | 프로트롬빈은 간에서 합성되는 비타민 K 의존성 응고단백질의 하나이며, 프로트롬빈시간은 외인계 응고활성을 종합적으로 특정하는 검사의 하나이다. 피검혈장에 칼슘이온과 조직트롬보플라스틴(제III 응고인자)을 가해, 섬유소가 나타날 때까지의 시간으 측정한다. |

| diabetic cataract | A cataract occurring in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| diabetic coma | A severe metabolic derangement that occurs in the absence of insulin. Insulin allows the body to absorb glucose into cells for energy production. In the absence of insulin, the body starts to break down fats for fuel. A metabolic byproduct of fat metabolism is referred to as a ketone. The presence of elevated blood ketones in this setting is known as diabetic ketoacidosis. In extreme, untreated cases, this can lead to coma and death. (27 Sep 1997) |
| diabetic dermopathy | Small macules and papules of the extensor surfaces of the extremities, most commonly the shins of diabetics, which become atrophic, hyperpigmented, and occasionally undergo ulceration with scarring; may be a manifestation of microangiopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic diet | A diet prescribed in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, usually limited in the amount of sugar or readily available carbohydrate. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diabetic fetopathy | Fetopathy resulting from maternal diabetes, which may cause macrosomia and foetal death. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic foot | Ulcers of the foot as a complication of diabetes. Diabetic foot, often with infection, is a common serious complication of diabetes and may require hospitalization and disfiguring surgery. The foot ulcers are probably secondary to neuropathies and vascular problems. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diabetic gangrene | Gangrene resulting from arteriosclerosis associated with diabetes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic gingivitis | Gingivitis in which the host response to bacterial plaque is presumably modified by the metabolic alterations encountered in the uncontrolled diabetic patient. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic glomerulosclerosis | Kidney disease and resultant kidney function impairment due to the long standing effects of diabetes on the microvasculature (glomerulus) of the kidney. Features include increased urine protein and declining kidney function. Severe diabetic nephropathy can lead to kidney failure and end-stage renal disease. (27 Sep 1997) |

| diabetic lipaemia | Development of lactescent plasma upon ingestion of dietary lipids; a rare manifestation of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus caused by defective metabolism of dietary lipids and abolished by the administration of insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diabetic myelopathy | <pathology> Degenerative changes in spinal cord tissue occurring as a complication of diabetes mellitus Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| diabetic nephropathies | Includes renal arteriosclerosis, renal arteriolosclerosis, kimmelstiel-wilson syndrome (intercapillary glomerulosclerosis), acute and chronic pyelonephritis, and kidney papillary necrosis in individuals with diabetes mellitus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diabetic nephropathy | <nephrology, pathology> Kidney disease and resultant kidney function impairment due to the long standing effects of diabetes on the microvasculature (glomerulus) of the kidney. Features include increased urine protein and declining kidney function. Severe diabetic nephropathy can lead to kidney failure and end-stage renal disease. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
