Medical - Medical: Health Care / endocrinology/nephrology
Russian term or phrase: **специфическое поражение** почек
Context: This is the parenthetical description provided for диабетическая нефропатия. Specifically, the author of the article offers:
(специфическое поражение почек, развившееся из-за диабета)

I am inclined to translate this as "progressive kidney disease arising from diabetes" even though that's not what it says. All help appreciated. Thanks.

renal irritation


Explanation:
Here: http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?t=4585612_1_2. Google it, just in case.

I am not sure what специфическое means here - probably that only part of the kidneys are affected.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Actually, this is the best answer and you will be earning your 4 points as soon as the 24 hour period is up. Thank you, Artem. I have researched this, and it is indeed the best answer offered. Both "lesion" and "affection" appear in the medical dictionary AND they both google, as well. Thanks.

neutral  Dorene Cornwell: Affection? Sounds like kidneys giving someone a hug, probably not a known effect of diabetes. Diabetes does AFFECT the kidneys, but this exact phrasing won't work. Diabetes-induced kidney damage would work much better

neutral  Lawrence Probes: "diabetic nephropathy" is the most economical translation, and it implies both a progressive course and "specific" lesions. "Affection" in this context is a rare use of the word in U.S. medicine; here "поражение" usually is translated as "lesion."
