"potassium (or kalium) patch,"small potassium (or kalium) dosage" Explanation: Ti le propongo nel contesto eventuale di un incremento intermittente di tale medicina somministrato ad un paziente tramite sia una piccola posologia orale o endovenosa, sia alcun tipo di "patch," cioè il farmaco contenuto in un materiale affisso alla pelle per trasmetterne continuamente un po' assorbito dentro la corrente saguigna del paziente, e così via...? E' l'unica soluzione a cui io possa pensare in questo momento, vista una traduzione di "risparmiatore" in "saver" -- ad esempio, per qualche tipo di "riserva"? -- ritrovatasi al link sottostante dell'Eurodicautum. (Inoltre: "reserve" si può tradurre in "risparmiare," anche nel senso diverso di "reserve one's strength," quale "risparmiarsi le forze." Argh!! Buona fortuna!

potassium-sparing [drug or diuretic] Explanation: "The patient is taking many drugs, including potassium and a potassium-sparing drug..." Here it helps to have some medical background and/or resources. For example, Google has more than 6,000 references for "potassium-sparing," and only one (for an alternative-medicine/herbal-product manufacturer) for "potassium saving." As explained at the legitimate medical web site below, most potassium-sparing drugs are diuretics. "DEFINITION: a class of drugs that block the exchange of sodium for potassium and hydrogen ions in the distal tubule, causing an increase in the excretion of sodium and chloride with a negligible increase in potassium excretion; used primarily as adjuncts to enhance the action and counteract the kaliuretic effects of thiazide and loop diuretics in the treatment of renal disease and in the treatment of hypertension." This source is authoritative, inasmuch as its definitions "either have been provided by the authors of the articles, or have been extracted wholly or in part, or paraphrased from the following sources: The American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine and Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary. Hope this helps, HC Reference: http://www.ndif.org/Terms/potassium-sparing_diuretic.html (and ample experience in medical translation) |
