Kórképhez

Kórképhez is a Hungarian word that translates to "to the clinical picture" or "for the clinical picture" in English. It is commonly used in medical contexts, particularly when describing a patient's condition, symptoms, or the overall presentation of a disease.

When a physician or medical professional refers to "kórképhez," they are typically discussing the compilation of all relevant information that helps define a particular illness or health issue. This can include observable signs, reported symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic test results. The phrase implies bringing together these various elements to form a comprehensive understanding of what is wrong with the patient.

For instance, a doctor might say a patient's current state is developing "kórképhez" when they are observing a worsening or evolving set of symptoms that align with a specific diagnosis. It can also be used when comparing a patient's presentation to a known "kórkép" (clinical picture) of a particular disease to determine if there is a match. The word is fundamental in the process of diagnosis and treatment planning in Hungarian medicine.
