Noun
/ljuː.kəˈpæθ.i.ə/
Leukopathia refers to a disorder characterized by leukocyte (white blood cell) abnormalities or changes, often associated with various diseases affecting the immune system. It is a relatively specialized term and is primarily used in medical contexts. The word is not frequently used in everyday conversation and is more commonly found in written, academic, or clinical settings.
Leukopathia is not a commonly used term in general discourse and is therefore employed mainly in specific medical literature or discussions.
(El doctor le diagnosticó leucopatía después de evaluar los resultados de su análisis de sangre.)
Research is ongoing to better understand the implications of leukopathia in autoimmune diseases.
(La investigación continúa para comprender mejor las implicaciones de la leucopatía en las enfermedades autoinmunes.)
Patients suffering from leukopathia often experience a compromised immune response.
While "leukopathia" is not typically associated with widely recognized idiomatic expressions due to its technical nature, it can be useful to note other medical or health-related idioms that involve conditions or diseases. Here are a few:
(Muchos temían que sin tratamiento, la leucopatía podría llevar a una situación en la que el paciente podría estirar la pata.)
Under the weather (feeling ill)
(Se sentía mal cuando se enteró de que tenía leucopatía.)
A bitter pill to swallow (an unpleasant fact that must be accepted)
The term "leukopathia" is derived from the Greek words "leuko-" meaning "white" (referring to leukocytes or white blood cells) and "-pathia" meaning "disease" or "disorder." Thus, it literally translates to "disease of white blood cells."
