| 영문 | aplastic anemia | 한글 | 재생불량빈혈 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 재생불량성 빈혈이란 골수의 이상으로 생기는 빈혈이다. 골수란 뼈속에 존재하는 것으로 혈구를 생성하는 세포들과 미성숙한 혈구들로 이루어져 있다. 이것들이 여러 가지 원인에 의해서 파괴되었을 때 생기는 빈혈을 재생불량빈혈이라고 한다. 그러므로 적혈구만의 감소가 아니라 모든 혈구 세포의 감소를 볼 수 있다. 치료로는 혈구 생성을 자극하는 호르몬을 투여하는 것이 있지만 이것으로는 파괴된 혈구를 생성하는 세포의 재생이 일어나지 못하므로 완전한 치료라고는 볼 수가 없다. 완전한 치료로는 남의 골수를 채취해서 이것에서부터 혈구를 생성하는 세포를 분리, 환자에게 이식하는 골수이식이 있다. |

| 영문 | iron deficiency anemia | 한글 | 철결핍빈혈 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 적혈구의 기능은 산소를 운반하는데 있다. 적혈구 속에 산소와 결합을 하여 산소를 운반하는 혈색소라는 물질이 있다. 철은 이 혈색소의 중요한 부분을 이루는 것으로 철이 없으면 혈색소가 만들어질 수가 없다. 혈색소가 없으면 역시 적혈구도 만들어지지 않으므로 체내에 철이 부족하면 빈혈이 생긴다. 이 철결핍성 빈혈은 빈혈의 원인 중에서 가장 흔한 것이다(약 25%를 차지한다). 철저장량의 저하-결핍, 혈청철농도의 저하, 트란스페린량 상승, 트란스페린포화도의 저하, 혈색소농도 또는 헤마토크리트의 저하, 저색소성대적혈구를 특징으로 하는 빈혈로서, 생체 내에서 철이 장기에 걸쳐 결핍되며 그 때문에 혈색소 생산 감소에 의해 일어난다. 창자에서의 철흡수량 부족, 철의 수요 증대(유아기, 사춘기, 임신), 철소실과잉(출혈)에 의해 일어나며, 특히 사춘기에서 폐경기까지의 여성에게 많다. 증상으로서는 얼굴창백, 피로감, 피부창백, 손톱 변화(스푼 모양) 등을 나타낸다. 구강 영역에서는 혀의 접촉통, 발적, 건조감, 삼킴곤란을 수반하면 플러머-빈슨(Plummer-Vinson)증후군이라고 한다. 혈액 소견은 혈청철은 저하하며, 철결합능력의 상승, 저색소성 작은적혈구성을 나타낸다. |

| chronic idiopathic jaundice | <syndrome> An inherited disorder (autosomal recessive) that is characterised by long-standing mild jaundice. This occurs secondary to an abnormality in the transport of bilirubin from the liver to the biliary system. This leads to an accumulation of bilirubin in the liver. Avoidance of alcohol and medications which can affect the liver is important. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. (27 Sep 1997) |

| chronic idiopathic xanthomatosis | Vague or indefinite term for inherited abnormalities of lipid metabolism leading to xanthoma formation (e.g., primary familial xanthomatosis). (05 Mar 2000) |
| multiple idiopathic haemorrhagic sarcoma | <oncology, tumour> A type of vascular cancer characterised by soft purple nodules that usually develop first on the feet and then slowly spread across the skin.This cancer is most often found in people with compromised immune systems, such as AIDS patients. (09 Oct 1997) |
| primary idiopathic macular atrophy | Atrophoderma in which the skin becomes bag like and wrinkled. Synonym: atrophia maculosa varioliformis cutis, atrophoderma maculatum, macular atrophy, primary idiopathic macular atrophy, primary macular atrophy of skin. Origin: G. Anetos, relaxed, + derma, skin (05 Mar 2000) |
| purpura, thrombocytopenic, idiopathic | Thrombocytopenia occurring in the absence of toxic exposure or a disease associated with decreased platelets. It is mediated by immune mechanisms, in most cases IgG autoantibodies which attach to platelets and subsequently undergo destruction by macrophages. The disease is seen in acute (affecting children) and chronic (adult) forms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hyperostosis, diffuse idiopathic skeletal | A disease of elderly men characterised by large osteophytes that bridge vertebrae and ossification of ligaments and tendon insertions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis | A form of degenerative arthritis characteristically associated with flowing calcification along the sides of the vertebrae of the spine and commonly with inflammation (tendinitis) and calcification of the tendons at their attachments points to bone. Because areas of the spine and tendons can become inflamed, antiinflammatory medications (NSAIDs), such ibuprofen, can be helpful in both relieving pain and inflammation. Also called Forestier's disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| idiopathic | Of the nature of an idiopathy, self originated, of unknown causation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| idiopathic aldosteronism | An adrenocortical disorder caused by excessive secretion of aldosterone and characterised by headaches, nocturia, polyuria, fatigue, hypertension, potassium depletion, hypokalaemic alkalosis, hypervolaemia, and decreased plasma renin activity; may be associated with small benign adrenocortical adenomas. Synonym: Conn's syndrome, idiopathic aldosteronism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic bilateral vestibulopathy | Slowly progressive disorder affecting young to middle-aged adults, manifested as gait unsteadiness (especially when visual cues are absent) and oscillopsia, unaccompanied by vertigo and hearing loss. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic bone cavity | A unilocular cyst containing serous fluid and lined with a thin layer of connective tissue, occurring usually in the shaft of a long bone in a child. Synonym: idiopathic bone cavity, osteocystoma, simple bone cyst, traumatic bone cyst, unicameral bone cyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic bradycardia | A slow pulse for which no cause can be discovered. Synonym: idiopathic bradycardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic cardiomyopathy | Cardiomyopathy of unknown or obscure cause. A disease that affects mainly the heart muscle, sparing other cardiac structures and usually resulting in fibrosis, hypertrophy, or both. Synonym: idiopathic cardiomyopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic disease | A disease of unknown cause or mechanism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic epilepsy | An epilepsy without evident cause; term often used to describe the genetic epilepsies. Synonym: generalised tonic-clonic seizure. (05 Mar 2000) |
