| kyphoscoliotic pelvis | A pelvis with marked anteroposterior curvature of the spine combined with lateral spinal curvature, usually due to severe rickets. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kyphotic pelvis | Backward curvature of the lumbar spine causing contraction of pelvic measurements. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flat pelvis | A pelvis in which the anteroposterior diameter is uniformly contracted, the sacrum being dislocated forward between the iliac bones. Synonym: pelvis plana. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large pelvis | The expanded portion of the pelvis above the brim. Synonym: pelvis major, false pelvis, large pelvis, pelvis spuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frozen pelvis | A condition in which the true pelvis is indurated throughout, especially by carcinoma. Synonym: hardened pelvis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| funnel-shaped pelvis | A pelvis in which the pelvic inlet dimensions are normal, but the outlet is contracted in the transverse or in both transverse and anteroposterior diameters. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser pelvis | The cavity of the pelvis below the brim or superior aperture. Synonym: pelvis minor, pelvis vera, small pelvis, true pelvis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligamentum transversum pelvis | <anatomy> The thickened anterior border of the urogenital diaphragm, formed by the fusion of its two fascial layers. Synonym: ligamentum transversum perinei, Krause's ligament, ligamentum transversum pelvis, transverse ligament of pelvis, transverse ligament of perineum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| acute renal failure | <nephrology> A sudden decline in renal function may be triggered by a number of acute disease processes. Examples include sepsis (infection), shock, trauma, kidney stones, kidney infection, drug toxicity (aspirin or lithium), poisons or toxins (drug abuse) or after injection with an iodinated contrast dye (adverse effect). Chronic renal failure represents a slow decline in kidney function over time. Chronic renal failure may be caused by a number of disorders which include long-standing hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, lupus or sickle cell anaemia. Both forms of renal failure result in a life-threatening metabolic derangement. (27 Sep 1997) |
| aminoaciduria, renal | Impairment of renal tubular transport of amino acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| back-pressure renal atrophy | <radiology> Caliectasis without obstruction, due to repeated episodes of obstruction, gradual loss of renal pyramids (12 Dec 1998) |
| base of renal pyramid | The outer broad part of a renal pyramid that lies next to the cortex. Synonym: basis pyramidis renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
