A relative in Ontario Canada died of senility and 2 other conditions which I cannot find in a medical dictionary. Hopefully am looking for the explanation of what the Doctor stated. I found similar conditions but different spellings. Can you help with this. Thanks--- ankerpep_52 (Janet)
1) Choleaptitis
2) Papelonephritus

Possibility?
Choleaptitis - cholecystitis - the 'a' actually being a 'c' and the p a 'y'. Does that work?
Papelonephritus = Pyelonephritis?

I agree, but just a bit more, Chole pertaining to the gall bladder, so the possibility of gallstones causing the liver to malfunction, my grandmother died from that because she would not have the gallstone removal operation.
Papelo- papelomas, growths on the kidneys causing nephritis ,so two conditions,each very painful and life threatening.

Crisane and Viktoria- Hi to both and thanks for your inputs, really appreciate it.. I also thought the spelling was off but perhaps that was the old version. They did not have the health care in the early yrs. so I agree it must have been terribly painful. My dad died in 1953 of Brights disease and several yrs ago a Dr. said he had never heard of it. It is hardening of the arteries in the kidney, caused be chronic high blood pressure.
I hear you Veronika. I also start things and end up doing something else. Makes for an interesting day.
