| 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. |

| 영문 | renal cell carcinoma | 한글 | 콩팥세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| acute tubular necrosis | <nephrology> A kidney disorder that results in damage to the renal tubule cells leading to acute renal failure. Acute tubular necrosis can result from any condition which deprives the kidney of oxygen (ischaemia). Acute tubular necrosis may occur as a complication of shock, trauma or sepsis. Conditions such as diabetes or liver disease can predispose people to the development of acute tubular necrosis. Certain medications (for example aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, cyclosporine) are known to cause acute tubular necrosis as a toxic side effect. Radiopaque contrast dyes, used in some radiologic procedures, may also result in acute tubular necrosis as a rare complication from contrast dye use. Acronym: ATN (13 Nov 1997) |
| aseptic necrosis | <orthopaedics, pathology> Condition in which poor blood supply to an area of bone leads to bone death. Also called avascular necrosis and osteonecrosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| avascular necrosis | <radiology> Aetiology (PLASTIC RAGS): P pancreatitis, L lupus, A alcohol, S steroids, T trauma, I idiopathic, infection, C caisson disease, collagen vascular disease, R radiation, rheumatoid arthritis, A amyloid, G Gaucher disease, S sickle cell disease findings: sclerosis, crescent sign, collapse (e.g., of femoral head) see also: staging (12 Dec 1998) |
| avascular necrosis staging | <radiology> Stage CT/X-ray bone scan I - cold/hot spot II sclerotic focus with osteopenic ring III crescent sign (subchondral lucency) IV articular collapse flattening of femoral head sensitivity 86% 78% specificity 79% 75% see also: avascular necrosis (AVN) (12 Dec 1998) |
| bridging hepatic necrosis | Area of liver necrosis which bridges adjacent portal areas and central veins; subsequent post-necrotic collapse and fibrosis is likely to result in cirrhosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| p60 tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated kinase | <enzyme> Interacts with and causes phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain of the tnf receptor Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: p60 tnf receptor-associated kinase, p60-trak (26 Jun 1999) |
| papillary necrosis | <radiology> Mnemonic: POST CARD, P pyelonephritis, O obstruction, S sickle cell disease, T TB, C cirrhosis (EtOH), A analgesics (phenacetin and aspirin), R renal vein thrombosis, D diabetes (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, tumour necrosis factor | Cell surface receptors that bind tumour necrosis factor and trigger changes which influence the behaviour of cells. The two recognised tumour necrosis factor receptors are designated alpha and beta receptors. Both receptors bind both alpha and beta tumour necrosis factors with high affinity, and both are members of the nerve growth factor receptor family. (12 Dec 1998) |
| caseous necrosis | Caseation necrosis, necrosis characteristic of certain inflammations (e.g., tuberculosis, histoplasmosis), which represents necrosis with loss of separate structures of the various cellular and histologic elements; affected tissue manifests the friable, crumbly consistency and dull, opaque quality observed in cheese. Synonym: caseous degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| globus pallidus necrosis | <radiology> Carbon monoxide poisoning, barbiturate intoxication, cyanide poisoning, hydrogen sulfide poisoning, hypoglycaemia, hypoxia, hypotension, Leigh disease, Wilson disease CT: bilateral, symmetric low density in globus pallidus Cf: methanol intoxication leading to putamenal haemorrhagic necrosis (changes seen more laterally) (12 Dec 1998) |
| central necrosis | Necrosis involving the deeper or inner portions of a tissue, or an organ or its units. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebrocortical necrosis | A noninfectious disease of ruminants characterised by a tissue-thiamine deficiency and by amaurosis and strabismus, followed by recumbency, opisthotonos, and convulsions. Synonym: cerebrocortical necrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retinal necrosis syndrome, acute | <ophthalmology> Mild to fulminant necrotizing vaso-occlusive retinitis associated with a high incidence of retinal detachment and poor vision outcome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| coagulation necrosis | A type of necrosis in which the affected cells or tissue are converted into a dry, dull, fairly homogeneous eosinophilic mass without nuclear staining, as a result of the coagulation of protein as occurs in an infarct; microscopically, the necrotic process involves chiefly the cells, and remnants of histologic elements (e.g., elastin, collagen, muscle fibres) may be recognizable, as well as "ghosts" of cells and portions of cell membranes; may be caused by heat, ischemia, and other agents that destroy tissue, including enzymes that would continue to alter the devitalised cellular substance.
