25
thrombophlebitis
tromboflebitis, inflammation of a vein associated with a clot
26
thrombosis
trombosis, abnormal condition of blood clot
27
thrombus
trombo, blood clot--on artery or vein
28
hematoma
hematoma, tumor of blood
29
lumen
luz vascular, space within tubular part or organ, i.e. blood vessel
30
hemolysis
hemólisis, dissolution of red blood cells
31
phlebotomy
flebotomía or venesección, incision into vein
32
lymph nodes
ganglios/nodos linfáticos, filter lymph to keep bacteria, etc. from entering blood; produce lymphocytes
33
splenomegaly
esplenomegalia, enlargement of spleen
34
lymphoma
linfoma, malignant tumor of lymphatic tissue
35
lymphadenopathy
linfadenopatía, disease of lymph nodes
36
spleen
bazo, located on left side of abdominal cavity between stomach & diaphragm--largest lymph organ; cleanses blood & destroys worn out red blood cells
37
angioplasty
angioplastia, surgical repair of blood vessel
38
diastole
diástole, when ventricles relax between contractions; bottom number of BP reading
39
varicose veins
várices or venas varicosas
40
circulatory problem
problema circulatorio
41
lymphatic system
sistema linfático
42
erythrocytosis
eritrocitosis, increase in number of red blood cells
43
leukocytosis
leucocitosis, increase in number of white blood cells
44
elephantiasis
AKA filariasis. parasitic infection leading to enlargement of a limb due to blockage of lymph glands
45
graft-vs-host-disease (GVHD)
occurs when healthy donor cells attack weakened body of host (person receiving donor cells or transplant)
46
lymphoma (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's)
cancer of lymphocyte--painless, enlarged lymph nodes (lumps), usually in neck then spreading to other lymph nodes
47
myeloma
cancer of blood which develops in bone marrow
48
sickle cell disease
inherited blood disorder. red blood cells take on rigid sickle shape after giving up oxygen. sickle shaped cells cannot fit through narrow capillaries resulting in blood supply to that part of body being blocked.
49
thalassemia
inherited condition: body makes abnormal hemoglobin & many red blood cells are destroyed, resulting in severe anemia
50
claudication
narrowing of leg arteries, causing severe leg pain caused by lack of oxygen in leg muscles
51
Análisis de antiglobulina
Antiglobulin test (AGT), or Coombs test; tests for autoimmune hemolytic anemia: low RBCs (breaking down)
52
anisocitosis
anisocytosis; patient's red blood cells are of unequal size. This is commonly found in anemia and other blood conditions.
53
Aglutinantes febriles
Febrile agglutinins; antibodies that cause the red blood cells to clump together
54
Linfografía para detectar linfomas
Lymphangiography to detect lymphomas
55
aplasia linfática
lymphoid aplasia
56
TPA o estirpador de coágulo
TPA “clog buster”; Tissue plasminogen activator (abbreviated tPA or PLAT) is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots
57
vénula
venule; a very small vein, especially one collecting blood from the capillaries
58
sickle
hoz
59
anisocytosis; patient's red blood cells are of unequal size. This is commonly found in anemia and other blood conditions.

Aglutinantes febriles
63
hemoptysis; coughing up of blood
hemoptisis
64
sickle
hoz
65
lymphoid aplasia
aplasia linfática
