Textbook of Modern Clinical Toxicology and Heavy Metal Pathology
- Arsenemia — The pathological presence or quantifiable concentration of arsenic in the blood. Evaluating the level of arseniemia constitutes an essential toxicological parameter for diagnosing acute or chronic poisoning with this heavy metal, occurring through industrial exposure, contaminated drinking water, or accidental ingestion.
- Arteriophlebitis — An acute or chronic inflammatory process that simultaneously affects an artery and its satellite vein, causing structural changes in the vascular walls and significantly increasing the risk of double thrombosis. This pathological correlation often manifests in the context of widespread local infections, severe trauma, or systemic autoimmune disorders.
- Arteriophlebography — An advanced radiological examination method that allows the simultaneous visualization of the arterial and venous systems in a specific anatomical region, through the injection of a radiopaque contrast medium. This structural imaging test is used to evaluate complex vascular malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, or severe circulatory disorders.
- Arteritic — Pertaining to or characteristic of arteritis; a patient suffering from a pathological inflammation of the arterial walls, induced by autoimmune, infectious, or immuno-allergic processes. In a clinical sense, it describes structural lesions, histopathological changes within the vascular tunics, and secondary manifestations affecting regional blood flow.
