munuaissairailla

Munuaissairailla is a Finnish term used in medical writing to refer to people who have kidney disease. It is typically employed to indicate the study population or a comparison group in nephrology, epidemiology, and health services research. The phrase is formed from munuais- (kidney) and sairaus (illness) and is inflected to fit the grammatical context, most often appearing in the adessive plural form meaning “among kidney-disease patients” or “in patients with kidney disease.”

In practice, munuaissairailla is used to describe where a finding applies or where data were collected. For example, researchers might report outcomes or treatment responses “munuaissairailla,” signaling that the observations pertain to people with kidney disease rather than the general population or a healthy control group. The term is common in formal, clinical writing and is frequently seen in nephrology studies and epidemiological reports.

Notes on usage and nuance: munuaissairailla is a population descriptor rather than a diagnosis. It helps specify the context of a result, without implying anything about individual patient identity beyond their health status. In Finnish medical style, it is usually accompanied by a noun referring to people or patients (for example, munuaissairailla potilailla). When discussing groups, the term can be contrasted with control or general-population groups to highlight differences in outcomes, risks, or responses to treatment.
