yetmezlii

Yetmezlii is not a standard medical term in Turkish; the standard spelling is yetmezlik, meaning insufficiency or failure. In medicine, yetmezlik refers to the inability of an organ or physiological system to perform its normal function adequately. The term is used in compound phrases describing organ-specific failures, such as kalp yetmezliği (heart failure), karaciğer yetmezliği (liver failure), and böbrek yetmezliği (kidney failure).

Yetmezlik can be acute or chronic. Acute yetmezlik arises suddenly, often from injury, infection, or ischemia, while chronic yetmezlik develops gradually due to ongoing disease. The concept can also apply systemically when multiple organs are affected or when perfusion and metabolic function are insufficient to meet body demands.

Clinical presentation varies by organ but tends to include symptoms of reduced organ function and compensatory responses. Cardiac yetmezliği may cause shortness of breath and edema; liver yetmezliği can lead to jaundice and coagulopathy; kidney yetmezliği may present with decreased urine output and fluid overload. Diagnosis typically combines medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging, along with assessment of organ-specific function.

Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and supporting organ function. This may involve medications, lifestyle changes, dialysis or transplantation in kidney failure, and transplantation in select liver failure cases, as well as devices or procedures for cardiac support in heart failure. Prognosis depends on the cause, severity, and response to therapy. terminology and usage can vary across languages and regions.
