ndërlikim

ndërlikim is an Albanian word that translates to "complication" in English. It refers to a secondary disease or condition that develops as a result of, or alongside, a primary disease. These complications can arise from the initial illness itself, its treatment, or other underlying factors. The term is commonly used in medical contexts to describe unforeseen difficulties or adverse events that arise during the course of a patient's care.

In medicine, an ndërlikim can range from minor issues like a mild infection at a surgical site to severe, life-threatening conditions such as organ failure or a severe allergic reaction to medication. Recognizing and managing these complications is a critical aspect of healthcare, as they can significantly impact a patient's recovery, prognosis, and overall well-being. Medical professionals strive to anticipate potential ndërlikime and implement strategies to prevent them or address them promptly if they occur.

Beyond the medical field, ndërlikim can also be used more broadly to describe any complex or intricate situation, a difficulty that arises and makes a process or plan more challenging. It implies a layer of added complexity that was not initially present or anticipated.
