Italian to English Medical Medical (general)
From a CT scan in a medical report of a patient with a failing kidney. I'm not sure how best to translate it in this instance.
in fase tardiva si riconoscere escrezione di mdc a livello dei calici del gruppo inferiore con regolare drenaggio attraverso il catetere sino in vescica; scarsa l'escrezione di mdc a livello dei calici del gruppo superiore: anteriormente ad essi, nettamente aumentata di volume ** la raccolta **precedentemente descritta con maggiori dimensioni di [...] che risale lungo la vena renale omolaterale; nel contesto della**raccolta ** si documentano abbondanti tracce gassose. I reperti descritti sono sospetti per sovrainfezione della ** raccolta ** con verosimile diretta comunicazione con la via escretrice.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I did initially wonder about "collection":)
JudyC Jun 28, 2020:
Yes, as I said, a collection (fluid, pus, or blood?)
pennylyd (asker) Jun 28, 2020:
I don't think it's the collecting system - I think it's something which can be seen on the CT scan which shouldn't be there and is, presumably, part of the patient's kidney problem.
JudyC Jun 28, 2020:
"collecting system" is usu. translated as "sistema collettore renale"

"Nell'urografia retrograda, mediante una cistoscopia e il cateterismo degli ureteri, il mezzo di contrasto viene introdotto direttamente negli ureteri e nel sistema collettore renale. "

"È anche utile per ottenere un'immagine dettagliata del sistema collettore pielocaliceale e degli ureteri per evidenziare traumi, stenosi o fistole."

[both from Merck Manual, Italian version]

Also logically: the text says: "...calici del gruppo superiore: anteriormente ad essi, nettamente aumentata di volume ** la raccolta **precedentemente descritta]
JudyC Jun 28, 2020:
I think it's usually a "collection". (fluid collection)

Is it the renal collecting system?

(fluid) collection

A fluid collection (often colloquially expressed in the medical vernacular as a collection) is a non-specific term used in radiology to refer to any focal loculation of liquid in the body, usually within a pre-existing anatomical space/potential space e.g. peritoneal, pleural, subdural.
