| 영문 | renal hypertension | 한글 | 콩팥성고혈압 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥실질의 병변으로 인해 야기된 고혈압. 콩팥의 대표적 기능은 노폐물 및 수분의 배설이다. 그런데 이러한 콩팥기능에 이상이 생겼을 경우 체내에 과잉수분의 축적이 발생하게 된다. 이와같은 과잉수분의 축적은 혈관내 정수압을 상승시켜 고혈압을 유발하게 된다. 치료는 원인 콩팥병의 교정이며 이유를 모르는 원발고혈압과 달리 콩팥성고혈압의 경우에는 원인 콩팥병이 교정되면 고혈압도 사라지게 된다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에 생긴 원시콩팥조직에서 발생한 암. 주로 원시세뇨관조직에서 발생한다. 대표적인 세포조직형은 염색시 세포질이 맑게 비어보이는 맑은세포암종이다. 치료는 수술과 항암화학요법이며 아주 드물지만 저절로 낫는 경우도 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. |

| 영문 | renal transplantation | 한글 | 콩팥이식 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥병을 가지고 있으나 치료가 불가능한 만성콩팥기능상실 등의 질병을 가진 환자의 신장을 떼어내고 환자와 항원성이 유사한 사람의 콩팥을 이식해주는 것. 이 때 서로간의 항원성의 유사점이 많아야 거부반응이 일어나지 않는다. 그리고 일단 콩팥이식을 받은 사람은 오랜기간 동안 면역억제제를 투여하여 거부반응을 줄여야 한다. 대개 이식된 콩팥은 엉덩뼈오목에 위치하게 된다. |

| chronic symptomatic HIV infection | This refers to an HIV infection that is characterised by signs and symptoms of HIV that are not life-threatening. Examples include oral thrush, gingivitis, seborrheic dermatitis, molluscum contangiosum, fevers, fatigue, lymph node swelling, malaise and weight loss. This stage can be a signal for the conversion from asymptomatic HIV disease to HIV disease (moe pronouced symptoms include joint pains). AIDS is diagnosed after HIV disease has started to manifest life-threatening oppotunistic infections (for example pneumocystis, cryptosporidium, toxoplasmosis, etc). (27 Sep 1997) |
