Diagnosis, Pathology, and Treatments
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| autoimmune disease | auto/immune = self/immune disease; disease caused by the body's immune system attacking the body's own healthy tissue |
| coagulopathy | coagulo/pathy = coagulation/disease; any disease that deals with problems in blood coagulation |
| deep vein thrombosis | deep vein thromb/osis = deep vein clot/condition; formation of a blood clot in a vein deep in the body, most commonly the leg |
| hemoglobinopathy | hemo/globino/pathy = blood/globe/disease; disease of the hemoglobin |
| hypercoagulability | hyper/coagul/ability = over/coagulation/ability; increased ability of the blood to coagulate |
| immunocompromised | immuno/compromised = immune/compromised; having an immune system incapable of responding normally and completely to a pathogen or disease |
| immunodeficiency | immuno/deficiency = immune/deficiency; immune system with decreased or compromised response to disease-causing organisms |
| immunosuppression | immuno/suppression = immune/suppression; reduction in the activity of the body's immune system |
| ischemia | isch/emia = hold back/blood condition; blockage of blood flow to an organ |
| phlebarteriectasia | phleb/arteri/ectasia = vein/artery/dilation; dilation of blood vessels |
| spherocytosis | sphero/cyt/osis = sphere/cell/condition; condition in which red blood cells assume a spherical shape |
| thrombophlebitis | thrombo/phleb/itis = clot/vein/inflammation; inflammation of a vein caused by a clot |
| anemia | an/emia = no/blood condition; reduced red blood cells |
| aplastic anemia | a/plas/tic an/emia = no/formation/pertaining to no/blood condition; anemia caused by red blood cells not being formed in sufficient quantities |
| hemolytic anemia | hemo/lytic an/emia = blood/breakdown no/blood condition; anemia caused by the destruction of red blood cells |
| iron deficiency anemia | iron deficiency an/emia = iron deficiency no/blood condition; anemia caused by inadequate iron intake |
| bilirubinemia | bili/rubin/emia = bile/red/blood condition; presence of bilirubin in the blood |
| bilirubin (red bile) | a substance derived from red blood cells that have completed their life span; bilirubin is secreted by the liver into the digestive tract |
| hyperbilirubinemia | hyper/bili/rubin/emia = over/bile/red/blood condition; excessive bilirubin in the blood |
| hypercholesterolemia | hyper/cholesterol/emia = over/cholesterol/blood condition/ excessive cholesterol in the blood |
| hyperlipidemia | hyper/lipid/emia = over/fat/blood condition; excessive fat in the blood |
| hypervolemia | hyper/vol/emia = over/volume/blood condition; increased blood volume |
| hypovolemia | hypo/vol/emia = under/volume/blood condition; decreased blood volume |
| septicemia | septic/emia = rotting/blood condition; presence of disease-causing microorganisms in the blood |
| uremia | ur/emia = urine/blood condition; presence of urine in the blood |
| hepatosplenitis | hepato/splen/itis = liver/spleen/inflammation |
| hypersplenism | hyper/splen/ism = over/spleen/condition; increased spleen activity |
| lymphadenitis | lymph/aden/itis = lymph/gland/inflammation; inflammation of a lymph gland (node) |
| lymphangiectasia | lymph/angi/ectasia = lymph/vessel/dilation; dilation of a lymph vessel, normally noticed by swelling in the extremities |
| lymphangitis | lymph/ang/itis = lymph/vessel/inflammation; inflammation of lymph vessels |
| mononucleosis | mono/nucle/osis = one/nucleus/condition; condition characterized by an abnormally large number of mononuclear leukocytes |
| myelodysplasia | myelo/dys/plas/ia = bone marrow/bad/formation/condition; disease characterized by poor production of blood cells by the bone marrow |
| osteomyelitis | osteo/myel/itis = bone/bone marrow/inflammation; inflammation of bone and bone marrow |
| splenitis | splen/itis = spleen/inflammation; inflammation of the spleen |
| splenopathy | spleno/pathy = spleen/disease; any disease of the spleen |
| splenorrhexis | spleno/rrhexis = spleen/rupture; rupture of the spleen |
| thymopathy | thymo/pathy = thymus/disease; disease of the thymus |
| tonsillitis | tonsill/itis = tonsil/inflammation; inflammation of a tonsil |
| leukemia | leuk/emia = white/blood condition; cancer of the blood or bone marrow characterized by the abnormal increase in white blood cells |
| lymphoma | lymph/oma = lymph/tumor; tumor originating in lymphocytes |
| myeloma | myel/oma = bone marrow/tumor; cancerous tumor of the bone marrow; when the tumors are present in several bones, it is called multiple myeloma |
| thymoma | thym/oma = thymus/tumor; tumor of the thymus |
| anticoagulant | anti/coagul/ant = against/coagulation/agent; drug that provents the coagulation of blood |

| laparosplenectomy | laparo/splen/ectomy = abdomen/spleen/removal; surgical removal of the spleen through the abdomen |
| lymphadenectomy | lymph/aden/ectomy = lymph/gland/removal; surgical removal of a lymph gland (node) |
| lymphadenotomy | lymph/adeno/tomy = lymph/gland/incision; incision into a lymph gland (node) |
| nephrosplenopexy | nephro/spleno/pexy = kidney/spleen/fixation; surgical fixation of the spleen and a kidney |
| splenectomy | splen/ectomy = spleen/removal; surgical removal of the spleen |
| thymectomy | thym/ectomy = thymus/removal; surgical removal of the thymus |
| tonsillectomy | tonsill/ectomy = tonsil/removal; surgical removal of a tonsil |
| apheresis | "separation"; general term for a process, similar to dialysis, that draws out a patient's blood, removes something from it, then returns the rest of the blood to the patient's body |
| cytapheresis | cyt/apheresis = cell/separation; apheresis to remove cellular material |
| plasmapheresis | plasm/apheresis = plasma/separation; apheresis to remove plasma |
