|---|---|
| normoglycaemic glycosuria | The recurring or persistent excretion of glucose in the urine, in association with blood glucose levels that are in the normal range; results from the failure of proximal renal tubules to reabsorb glucose at a normal rate from the glomerular filtrate (low renal threshold); defect in the glucose carrier in the nephron. Synonym: diabetes innocens, normoglycaemic glycosuria, renal diabetes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normokalaemia | Normokaliaemia A normal level of potassium in the blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normokalaemic periodic paralysis | A form of periodic paralysis in which the serum potassium level is within normal limits during attacks; onset usually occurs between the ages of 2 and 5 years; there is often severe quadriplegia, usually improved by the administration of sodium salts; autosomal dominant inheritance. Synonym: sodium-responsive periodic paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| normospermatogenic sterility | Male sterility due to some cause other than failure to produce live, normal spermatozoa, e.g., blockage of the seminiferous passages. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normosthenuria | Condition in which specific gravity of urine is normal. Origin: normo-+ G. Sthenos, strength, + ouron, urine (05 Mar 2000) |

| normotriglyceridemic abetalipoproteinaemia | Abetalipoproteinaemia with normal levels of triglycerides. This inherited disorder (possibly autosomal recessive) is probably due to the absence of apolipoprotein B-100. (05 Mar 2000) |
