Acute glomerulonephritis -✔ inflammation of the capillary loops of the renal glomeruli
Ascites -✔ accumulation of serous fluid in the peritoneal cavity

the cystic duct from cholelithiasis, which may be either acute or chronic
Cholelithiasis -✔ stone formation in the gallbladder occurs when cirain substances reach a high
concentration in bile and produce crystals
Cirrhosis -✔ diffuse hepatic process characterized by fibrosis and alteration of normal liver
architecture into structurally abnormal nodules
Duodenal ulcer -✔ chronic circumscribed break in the duodenal mucosa that scars with healing
Irritable bowel syndrome -✔ disorder of intestinal mobility
