NSAIDs
Abbreviation for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Family of anti-inflammatory drugs that are not derived from cortisone (steroids), and the best known is aspirin.
antacids
Drug that neutralizes the acidity of gastric secretions or blocks the glands responsible for the secretion of acid.
antibiotics
Substance capable of blocking the multiplication of certain bacteria or killing them. The spectrum of an antibiotic is the set of bacteria on which this product is usually active. Unlike bacteria, viruses are not susceptible to antibiotics. The first antibiotics were extracted from fungal cultures: penicillium (penicillin), streptomyces (streptomycin). They are currently manufactured by chemical synthesis. Antibiotics are divided into families: penicillins, cephalosporins, macrolides, tetracyclines (cyclins), sulfonamides, aminoglycosides, lincosanides, phenicolates, polymyxins, quinolones, imidazoles, etc.
Inappropriate use of antibiotics can promote resistance: use an antibiotic only on prescription, respect its dosage and duration, do not give and do not advise another person an antibiotic that you have been prescribed .
dialysis
A method of purifying blood in cases of severe renal failure, provided mainly by the use of an artificial kidney.
inflammation
Natural reaction of the organism against an element recognized as foreign. It manifests locally as redness, heat, pain or swelling.
renal failure
Inability of the kidneys to dispose of waste or drugs. Advanced renal failure does not necessarily result in a decrease in the amount of urine eliminated. Only a blood test and the determination of creatinine can reveal this disease.
mucous
Tissue (membrane) lining the cavities and ducts of the body communicating with the outside (digestive tract, respiratory system, urinary tract, etc.).
salt
Chemical substance of which the best known is sodium chloride, or table salt. Diet salt does not contain sodium; it is usually replaced by potassium.
symptoms
Disorder felt by a person with an illness. The same symptom can translate different diseases and the same disease does not necessarily give the same symptoms in all patients.
