| 영문 | endemic disease | 한글 | 풍토병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 인간사회에 항상 존재하지만 특수한 기후나 토질로 인하여 특정지역에만 존재하는 사망률이 낮고, 임상적으로도 드물게 볼 수 있는 병. 특히 그 토지의 풍토-기후-생물-토양 등의 자연환경과 그 지방 주민의 풍속-습관-인습 등이 복잡하게 얽혀서 생긴 특수한 병을 가리킨다. 일반적으로 그 지방 주민의 사망률은 그다지 높지 않지만 근절되기 어려운 것이 특징이다. 지방병이라는 말은 어느 지방에 한정하여 볼 수 있는 병이라는 점에서는 같지만, 풍토환경과 밀접한 관계가 있다는 데서 보면 풍토병이라는 용어가 적절하다. 국내적으로는 쯔쯔가무시병, 야생토끼병, 렙토스피라증 등이 알려져 있고, 세계적으로는 말라리아, 황열, 페트스, 일본주혈흡충증 등이 알려져 있다. |

| liver circulation | The circulation of blood through the vessels of the liver. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| liver cirrhosis | Liver disease in which the normal microcirculation, the gross vascular anatomy, and the hepatic architecture have been variably destroyed and altered with fibrous septa surrounding regenerated or regenerating parenchymal nodules. (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver cirrhosis, alcoholic | Liver cirrhosis in alcoholics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver cirrhosis, biliary | Liver cirrhosis in which there is interference with intrahepatic bile flow. It includes primary biliary cirrhosis, an intrahepatic disturbance of bile secretion affecting predominantly middle-aged women and with segmental destruction and, later, absence of septal bile ducts (cirrhosis is the end stage); and secondary biliary cirrhosis, which is produced by prolonged mechanical obstruction of large intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver cyst | <radiology> Simple cyst, polycystic liver disease (50% most likely to be renal cysts), abscess (pyogenic, amebic, hydatid), traumatic haematoma, Caroli disease, cystic hepatoblastoma, cystadenoma / cystadenocarcinoma, haemangioendothelioma, cystic metastasis (uncommon): sarcoma, melanoma, ovarian cystadenocarcinoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver diet | A special diet for those with liver disease should be low in protein and higher in carbohydrates. (27 Sep 1997) |
| liver diseases, alcoholic | Liver diseases associated with alcoholism. It usually refers to the coexistence of two or more subentities, i.e., alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and alcoholic liver cirrhosis, but may be the general entity when subentities are not specified. (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver diseases, parasitic | Infections of the liver with a parasite. They are caused most commonly by trematodes (flukes). (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver enzyme | <biochemistry> Special proteins found in the cells of the liver that are responsible for catalysing specific metabolic reactions. They may become elevated in the bloodstream in conditions of hepatitis or liver cancer. See: liver function tests. (27 Sep 1997) |
| liver extracts | <chemical> Extracts of liver tissue containing uncharacterised specific factors with specific activities; a soluble thermostable fraction of mammalian liver is used in the treatment of pernicious anaemia. Pharmacological action: haematinics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver failure | A condition of severe end-stage liver dysfunction that is accompanied by a decline in mental status that may range from confusion (hepatic encephalopathy) to unresponsiveness (hepatic coma). Other features include a mousy odour to the breath, difficulty with balance and walking, tremor and impaired speech. (27 Sep 1997) |
| liver failure, acute | A form of liver failure with rapid onset. It is often induced by the toxic effect of drugs and various toxic substances in experimental studies in animals and in clinical states in humans. If coma ensues, the constellation of neurological symptoms is referred to as hepatic encephalopathy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver filtrate factor | Former term for pantothenic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| liver flap | <clinical sign, neurology> Abnormal muscle tremor consisting of involuntary jerking of the hands. May be seen in liver disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| liver function test | <investigation> A test that measures the blood serum level of several enzymes produced by the liver. An elevated liver function test is a sign of possible liver damage. Examples include: prothrombin time, PTT, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase and serum albumin.
