| partial adrenocortical insufficiency | Normal basal adrenocortical function with failure of adrenocortical reserve to respond to ACTH stimulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal insufficiency | Defective function of the kidneys, with accumulation of waste products (particularly nitrogenous) in the blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory insufficiency | Failure to adequately provide oxygen to cells of the body and to remove excess carbon dioxide from them. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chronic adrenocortical insufficiency | Adrenocortical insufficiency usually as the result of idiopathic atrophy or destruction of both adrenal glands by tuberculosis, an autoimmune process, or other diseases; characterised by fatigue, decreased blood pressure, weight loss, increased melanin pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes, anorexia, and nausea or vomiting; without appropriate replacement therapy, it can progress to acute adrenocortical insufficiency. Synonym: Addison's disease, addisonian syndrome, hyposupradrenalism, morbus Addisonii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic venous insufficiency | <cardiology> A condition in which the vein do not channel the flow of blood adequately. most often this condition is seen in the veins of the lower extremities. Symptoms include leg swelling, leg pain and muscle cramps. This condition can predispose to venous thrombosis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| mitral insufficiency | Malfunction of the mitral valve. Mitral insufficiency allows the backflow of blood (regurgitation) from the left ventricle into the left atrium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mitral valve insufficiency | Backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium, owing to imperfect functioning of the mitral valve. (12 Dec 1998) |

| coronary insufficiency | Inadequate coronary circulation leading to anginal pain. Synonym: coronarism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myocardial insufficiency | A condition where there is ineffective pumping of the heart leading to an accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Typical symptoms include shortness of breath with exertion, difficulty breathing when lying flat and leg or ankle swelling. Causes include chronic hypertension, cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction. (27 Sep 1997) |
| primary adrenocortical insufficiency | Adrenocortical insufficiency caused by disease, destruction, or surgical removal of the adrenal cortices. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hepatic insufficiency | Defective functional activity of the liver cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
