Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 , With a big caveat that I don't translate from French: The German term Insuffizienz, and its equivalent in Hebrew (!), are used synonymously and interchangeably*) with 'failure', as in heart failure, kidney failure. *) German is big on elegant variation, so if they use one term, they'll use the other in the next sentence. Literal repetition is supposed to be poor German style.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi, I don’t know French, but it may be helpful to know that in Venezuelan Spanish the term “insuficiencia urinaria†is used as a synonym for “insuficiencia renalâ€, which is rendered as “renal failure/kidney failure†into English. I copy below the Spanish definitions of “insuficiencia renal†and “insuficiencia urinariaâ€, as well as a link to the English definition of “kidney failureâ€. insuficiencia renal (renal failure): incapacidad de los riñones para excretar los productos de desecho del organismo, concentrar la orina y conservar los electrolitos. Puede ser aguda o crónica. La insuficiencia renal aguda se caracteriza por oliguria y por la rápida acumulación de nitrógeno en el organismo (…) [Diccionario de Medicina Mosby] ------ â€¢ï€ Diferencia conceptual de: Insuficiencia urinaria − Cólico renal La Insuficiencia Urinaria es la capacidad reducida del riñón para desarrollar sus funciones.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I don’t know how it is in French, but over here there is a difference between “insuficiencia urinaria†(=insufficient capacity to urinate due to kidney failure) and “incontinencia urinaria†(=patients urinate involuntary because cannot control their sphincters).
