GLOSSARY ^(summary)

NSAIDs
Abbreviation of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. A family of anti-inflammatory drugs that are not derived from cortisone (steroids), the best known of which is aspirin.

antacid
Drug which neutralizes the acidity of gastric secretions or which blocks the glands responsible for the secretion of acid.

antibiotics
Substance capable of blocking the multiplication of certain bacteria or of killing them. The spectrum of an antibiotic is the set of bacteria on which this product is usually active. Unlike bacteria, viruses are not sensitive to antibiotics. The first antibiotics were extracted from cultures of fungi: penicillium (penicillin), streptomyces (streptomycin). They are currently manufactured by chemical synthesis. Antibiotics are divided into families: penicillins, cephalosporins, macrolides, tetracyclines (cyclines), sulfonamides, aminoglycosides, lincosanides, phenicols, polymyxins, quinolones, imidazoles, etc.
Inappropriate use of antibiotics can promote the development of resistance: use an antibiotic only on medical prescription, respect its dosage and duration, do not give or advise another person an antibiotic that has been prescribed for you. .

dialysis
A method of purifying the blood in cases of severe renal failure, essentially ensured by the use of an artificial kidney.

inflammation
Natural reaction of the organism against an element recognized as foreign. It manifests itself locally as redness, warmth, pain or swelling.

renal failure
Inability of the kidneys to eliminate wastes or drugs. Advanced kidney disease does not necessarily result in a decrease in the amount of urine passed. Only a blood test and the determination of creatinine can reveal this disease.

mucous
Tissue (membrane) that lines the cavities and ducts of the body communicating with the outside (digestive tract, respiratory system, urinary tract, etc.).

symptoms
Disturbance experienced by a person with an illness. The same symptom can represent different diseases and the same disease does not necessarily give the same symptoms in all patients.
