splenomegaly

A

esplenomegalia, enlargement of spleen

34
Q

lymphoma

A

linfoma, malignant tumor of lymphatic tissue

35
Q

lymphadenopathy

A

linfadenopatía, disease of lymph nodes

36
Q

spleen

A

bazo, located on left side of abdominal cavity between stomach & diaphragm–largest lymph organ; cleanses blood & destroys worn out red blood cells

37
Q

angioplasty

A

angioplastia, surgical repair of blood vessel

38
Q

diastole

A

diástole, when ventricles relax between contractions; bottom number of BP reading

39
Q

varicose veins

A

várices or venas varicosas

40
Q

circulatory problem

A

problema circulatorio

41
Q

lymphatic system

A

sistema linfático

42
Q

erythrocytosis

A

eritrocitosis, increase in number of red blood cells

43
Q

leukocytosis

A

leucocitosis, increase in number of white blood cells

44
Q

elephantiasis

A

AKA filariasis. parasitic infection leading to enlargement of a limb due to blockage of lymph glands

45
Q

graft-vs-host-disease (GVHD)

A

occurs when healthy donor cells attack weakened body of host (person receiving donor cells or transplant)

46
Q

lymphoma (Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s)

A

cancer of lymphocyte–painless, enlarged lymph nodes (lumps), usually in neck then spreading to other lymph nodes

47
Q

myeloma

A

cancer of blood which develops in bone marrow

48
Q

sickle cell disease

A

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
Q

thalassemia

A

inherited condition: body makes abnormal hemoglobin & many red blood cells are destroyed, resulting in severe anemia

50
Q

claudication

A

narrowing of leg arteries, causing severe leg pain caused by lack of oxygen in leg muscles

51
Q

Análisis de antiglobulina

A

Antiglobulin test (AGT), or Coombs test; tests for autoimmune hemolytic anemia: low RBCs (breaking down)

52
Q

anisocitosis

A

anisocytosis; patient’s red blood cells are of unequal size. This is commonly found in anemia and other blood conditions.

53
Q

A

Febrile agglutinins; antibodies that cause the red blood cells to clump together

54
Q

Linfografía para detectar linfomas

A

Lymphangiography to detect lymphomas

55
Q

aplasia linfática

A

lymphoid aplasia

56
Q

TPA o estirpador de coágulo

A

TPA “clog buster”; Tissue plasminogen activator (abbreviated tPA or PLAT) is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots

57
