glomeruluskohtaisissa

Glomeruluskohtaisissa is a Finnish adjective form used to describe phenomena, structures, or observations that pertain specifically to the glomerulus, the capillary tufts in the kidney’s nephron. The term is a compound of the Latin word glomerulus and the Finnish suffix -kohtainen, which means “pertaining to” or “characteristic of,” with the ending -issa marking the inflected form used before a plural noun in context.

In medical and scientific texts, glomeruluskohtaisissa is employed to indicate that findings are limited to or focused on the glomerulus rather than the broader kidney tissue. It is commonly encountered in nephrology and histology when discussing glomerular lesions, deposits, gene expression, or functional changes that occur within the glomerulus. For example, one might refer to glomeruluskohtaisissa kudosnäytteissä (in glomerulus-specific tissue samples) or glomeruluskohtaisissa muutoksissa (in glomerulus-specific changes).

Form and related terms: glomeruluskohtainen serves as the base adjective, which can be inflected to glomeruluskohtaisissa, glomeruluskohtaisiin, etc., to agree with different noun cases and numbers. Related Finnish terms include glomerulaarinen (glomerular) and other nephrology-related descriptors such as munuaisten glomerulusten (of the kidney glomeruli). The term is primarily used in technical writing rather than everyday language.
