    GLOSSARY (summary)


    cortisone
    Hormone secreted by the adrenal glands. It helps to regulate the body's sugars, fats and proteins, but also to the body's reaction to stress. Its powerful anti-inflammatory properties are used in therapeutics. The natural cortisone is called cortisol (assayed by blood tests). Hydrocortisone is the drug form that is closest to natural cortisone and is used primarily in the treatment of cortisone deficiency diseases. Other more potent chemical derivatives are used when looking for an anti-inflammatory effect: prednisone, prednisolone, betamethasone, dexamethasone, etc.


    cyclins
    Family of antibiotics used especially in the treatment of acne and certain genital infections.


    diuretic
    Medication allowing increased kidney water removal. Most often, this loss of water follows the loss of salts caused by the drug (salidiuretic).
    Diuretics are mainly used in the treatment of high blood pressure, while their mechanism of action in this disease is poorly understood. They are also prescribed in acute or chronic heart failure, edema and other rarer ailments.
    These drugs cause loss of sodium and potassium (except for some of them called "potassium-sparing"). Their prolonged administration therefore requires regular blood potassium control, to avoid heart problems that may result from hypokalemia (lack of potassium in the blood). Lack of sodium is another possible but less frequent consequence of the prolonged use of diuretics; it is also detected by a blood test.


    hypercalcemia
    Excess of calcium in the blood, due to illness or the use of certain drugs (excess vitamin D).


    renal failure
    Inability of the kidneys to eliminate waste or medicinal substances. Advanced renal insufficiency does not necessarily result in a decrease in the amount of urine excreted. Only a blood test and creatinine dosage may reveal this disease.


    gallstone
    Concretion (stone) that forms in the excretory pathways of certain organs: urinary, biliary, salivary.
    Synonym: calculation.


    osteoporosis
    Fragilisation of the bones, which become porous and brittle.
