| uraemic pneumonitis | Perihilar oedema of the lung associated with renal failure and hypertension; the peripheral parts of the lung remain clear. Synonym: uraemic pneumonia, uraemic pneumonitis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| acute chemical pneumonitis | <chest medicine> Inflammation of the lungs which occurs secondary to exposure to a chemical, organic dust, fungus or mould. Chronic exposure can lead to chronic lung changes evident on chest X-ray. Symptoms include cough, fever, shortness of breath and wheezing. See: bird-handler's disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| acute interstitial pneumonitis | Usually considered a form of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation pneumonitis | Injurious effects of radiotherapy on the lungs. There are three phases in the reaction of the lungs to radiation injury: an acute phase occurring 1 to 2 months after exposure, a subacute phase 2 to 9 months after exposure, and a chronic or fibrotic phase more than 9 months after exposure. In the acute phase there is vascular damage, congestion, oedema, and mononuclear cell infiltration; in the subacute phase the alveolar walls are infiltrated with mononuclear inflammatory cells and fibroblasts; in the chronic phase, alveolar fibrosis and capillary sclerosis take place.

| pandora's pneumonitis | <radiology> Type of extrinsic allergic alveolitis, from forced air equipment (heating, humidifying, air conditioning systems), organism: thermophilic actinomycetes (12 Dec 1998) |
| pneumonitis | <pathology> Inflammation of the lung secondary to viral or bacterial infection. Common symptoms include a productive cough, fever, chills and shortness of breath. (27 Sep 1997) |
| haemolytic uraemic syndrome | <haematology, syndrome> A pathologic condition with involves the rupture (haemolysis) of red blood cells, subsequent anaemia, low platelet count and kidney failure. It is a syndrome of haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure, with pathological finding of thrombotic microangiopathy in kidney and renal cortical necrosis. See: haemolytic anaemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypersensitivity pneumonitis | <radiology> Aka: chronic extrinsic allergic alveolitis, pathology: proliferation of epithelial cells, elaboration of reticulum fibres, findings: interstitial reticulonodular pattern (basilar distribution), volume loss (cicatrization atelectasis) in upper lobes, pleural effusion (rare), lymph node enlargement may occur (12 Dec 1998) |
| interstitial pneumonitis | <chest medicine, pathology> A form if pneumonia which involves the interstitial tissues (connective tissue) of the lung. Causes are varied and include: infection with Pneumocystis carinii, radiation exposure, toxic inhalation, viral pneumonias and giant cell pneumonia. (27 Sep 1997) |
| feline pneumonitis | An infectious respiratory illness of domesticated cats caused by the bacterium Chlamydia psittaci. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uraemic | <medicine> Of or pertaining to uraemia; as, uraemic convulsions. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| uraemic breath | Characteristic odour of the breath in patients with chronic renal failure, variously described as "fishy," "ammoniacal," and "fetid," which is indicative of the systemic accumulation of volatile metabolites, usually excreted in the urine; dimethylamine and trimethylamine have been identified and correlated with the classic fishy odour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uraemic colitis | Colitis characterised by haemorrhages in the mucosa, occurring in renal failure, possibly owing to the irritant effect of ammonia formed by breakdown of increased urea in the intestinal secretions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uraemic coma | A metabolic encephalopathy caused by renal failure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uraemic frost | Powdery deposits on the skin, especially the face, of urea and uric acid salts due to excretion of nitrogenous compounds in the sweat; seen in severe uraemia. Synonym: uridrosis crystallina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uraemic lung | Perihilar oedema of the lung associated with renal failure and hypertension; the peripheral parts of the lung remain clear. Synonym: uraemic pneumonia, uraemic pneumonitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
