GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:water/fluid retention

Medical - Medical (general)
German term or phrase: H20-Rekulion
Physical exam of a heart failure/kidney failure patient:

Haut: massive H20-Rekulion + Penisödem; grob neurolog. unauffällig; keine Varizen, Beinödeme bds."

Now, this is a pdf, so no bad OCR.

I have no idea what Rekulion is. I can only think of 'Wasser-Retention' in this context...

Any ideas, esteemed colleagues??

Explanation:
ein bisschen Ratespiel: mir scheint, dass hier eine Ärtze-Kalligraphie durch eine OCR-software gelesen wurde.

Rekulion -> Reduktion -> Reduction.

Könnte es sein das manchmal Medizinstudenten einen besonderen "Ärzteschrift-" bzw. "Ärzte-Kalligrafie-"Kurs belegen ...
