A condition where blood accumulates in the kidney, usually from internal bleeding or injury.
From Greek haima (blood) + nephros (kidney) + -osis (condition). Medical terminology systematically combines organ names with blood-related roots to describe specific complications.
Doctors use these compound terms like building blocks—once you know 'haema-' (blood), 'nephro-' (kidney), and '-osis' (condition), you can understand the entire concept without memorizing every term individually.
