hemodialysis
localized collection of blood, usually clotted, in an organ, tissue or space resulting from a break in the wall of a blood vessel.

immuno-compromised, immunosuppressants
disease are causeed by a defect in the immune system and are characterized by a susceptibility to infections and chronic diseases.
immunodeficiency
excessive reaction to antigen
