German term

Hydrope

German to English Medical Medical (general) Oncology/hepatology
Der Satz: "Aktuell ergeben klinische Zeichen einer Leberzirrhose ohne Hinweis auf eine erneute hydrope oder enzephalopathische Dekompensation." Numquam vidi nomen HYDROPEN medicum -- quis vestrum mihi succurreret?

HYDROPS sehe ich ja in meinen deut.-engl. medizinischen Woerterbuechern und anderen Quellen. Kein Problem.

Aber "hydrope" (im Text a_b_s_i_c_h_t_l_i_c_h kleingeschreiben, mit E anstatt S am Ende--man denke an einer "Eta"). Sogar im Altgriechischen (meiner Doktorsprache) gab es keine "HYDROPE" -- sonderbares Wort! Weder per Google noch Wikipedia finde ich was.

(Und bitte nichts darueber, was der in Deutschland praktizierende Arzt haette schreiben sollen!!!! Deutsch unterrichte ich nicht...ich uebersetze nur. Der Text ist schon einige Jahre alt, er wohnt/wohnte in Deutschland und ich in Amerika. Ich, kleiner, koennte keinem grossen Arzt, ob in D-land oder in A-ka, etwas darueber beibringen, wie man Deutsch schreiben sollte!)

British Diana Feb 9, 2011:
hydrophe If it were an adjective it would be in small case and ending in "e", perhaps spelt "hydrophe"? This would only be a small slip which anyone could make. But I don't know how to translate it.

fluid [retention]-related//or fluid overload

as an attempt to fit it into the sentence as adjective...

but SJLD's suggestion works well, too...

you can use fluid accumulation or fluid overload
Peer comment(s):

agree SJLD : fluid retention but not overload - it's not a problem of hypervolaemia

but isn't fluid overload the result of fluid retention?

German term (edited): hydrope Dekompensation

fluid accumulation

We don't use "hydropsy" in modern medicine.

This means cirrhosis without fluid accumulation (of peritoneal fluid or ascites) or encephalopathy.

We don't use "humor" in modern medicine either, unless we're being funny ;-)
Peer comment(s):

agree Lirka : yes, or fluid overload
2 hrs
I wouldn't use fluid overload - that is not the cause of ascites in cirrhosis
disagree Constantinos Faridis (X) : this is an explanation, not a medical term translation

this is the term an English speaking doctor - such as myself - would use. Please read the last sentence in my profile.

German term (edited): Hydrops

hydropsy

Edema (American English) or oedema (British English; both words from the Greek οἴδημα, oídēma "swelling"), formerly known as dropsy or hydropsy, is an abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin or in one or more cavities of the body. Generally, the amount of interstitial fluid is determined by the balance of fluid homeostasis, and increased secretion of fluid into the interstitium or impaired removal of this fluid may cause edema.

internationally, all medical terms are derived from greek or latin language, as in this case.
