русский term

**специфическое поражение** почек

русский => английский Медицина Медицина: Здравоохранение endocrinology/nephrology
Context: This is the parenthetical description provided for диабетическая нефропатия. Specifically, the author of the article offers:
(специфическое поражение почек, развившееся из-за диабета)

I am inclined to translate this as "progressive kidney disease arising from diabetes" even though that's not what it says. All help appreciated. Thanks.

diabetes-induced renal affection (or lesion)

That is the language the medics would use to prevent us simple folks from understanding what they mean ;-)
Note from asker:
Actually, this is the best answer and you will be earning your 4 points as soon as the 24 hour period is up. Thank you, Artem. I have researched this, and it is indeed the best answer offered. Both "lesion" and "affection" appear in the medical dictionary AND they both google, as well. Thanks.

спасибо, коллега!
neutral Dorene Cornwell : Affection? Sounds like kidneys giving someone a hug, probably not a known effect of diabetes. Diabetes does AFFECT the kidneys, but this exact phrasing won't work. Diabetes-induced kidney damage would work much better

neutral Lawrence Probes : "diabetic nephropathy" is the most economical translation, and it implies both a progressive course and "specific" lesions. "Affection" in this context is a rare use of the word in U.S. medicine; here "поражение" usually is translated as "lesion."

renal irritation

Here: http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?t=4585612_1_2. Google it, just in case.

I am not sure what специфическое means here - probably that only part of the kidneys are affected.
