AW: FR>EN term insuffisance urinaire

[Guest guest]

Hello ,

I agree with Karina, since “urinary incontinence†is one of the most

dreaded side effects of prostate cancer surgery or radiation.

The term “urinary insufficiency†does exist in the English literature and so

does “Harninsuffizienz†in German although it is not widely used in either

language and is synonymous with “bladder insufficiency†(which at least does

not sound as ridiculous as “urinary insufficiencyâ€).

Very strictly speaking the term “insuffisance urinaire†is not synonymous

with “incontinence urinaire†and I have come across a wide range of

definitions both in the same and different languages. In addition, we all know

that medical terms are often used in a rather loose sense (euphemistic

understatement ☺). However, given your context, I am very much inclined to

assume that the author is referring to “urinary incontinenceâ€. Also, I am

not aware of a grading system for “urinary insufficiency†classifying this

syndrome into grades 1 through 3, whereas such system is commonly applied to

classify urinary incontinence after pelvic/prostate surgery

(http://www.ami.at/en/index.php4?m1id=3 & m2id=94 & m3id=280).

My two cents,

Astrid

Hi

I think the author might mean " fuite urinaire " or urinary incontinence.

Insuffisance in this context probably means that the sphincter is deficient.

Usually in French one speaks of " incontinence urinaire du troisième degré " .

I would double check with the customer.

Good luck.

Objet : FR>EN term " insuffisance urinaire "

In a paper concerning management of the recurrence of prostate cancer

concerning the morbidity of a particular treatment is the sentence:

Le taux d’insuffisance urinaire de grade 3 est ainsi passé de 11 % à

9 %, celui de la pose de sphincter artificiel de 20 % à 6 % et celui de

fistule uréthro rectale de 9 % à 0 %

Is " Insuffisance urinaire " a different entity to renal

impairment/insufficiency? Google gives very few hits for the term which

I have not met before. Where I can find it, via Google, the context is

almost always non-scientific.

Again, help would be most welcome.
