PDS

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) dermatology
I can't seem to figure out what "PDS" stands for in the contexts below. Elsewhere in the document, the same injury/condition is referred to as "necrosis" and "cutaneous ischemia".



Paciente que durante su ingreso...realiza hematoma en región posterior de pierna izquierda con PDS extensa en zona gemelar.

...Se realiza autoinjertos de piel de espesor parcial de muslo isquierdo sobre PDS de pierna izquierda.

Diagnóstico: PDS tras hematoma a tensión en pierna izquierda

pérdida de sustancia I contacted the client, who contacted the doctor, and it turns out that PDS stands for "pérdida de sustancia". Thank you all for your answers!

DSP

polineuropatía distal simétrica
Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy:
DSP is a type of nerve problem that causes numbness, tingling, and weakness. It can also cause pain. These symptoms usually start in the feet and move to the hands. The symptoms spread slowly and evenly up the legs and arms. Other body parts might also be affected. Muscle “wasting” (breakdown) may also happen. Most people who develop DSP are over age 55. But people can be affected at any age.

Loss of sensation

This is a bit of a long shot, but could PDS stand for "perdida de sensación"?

Presión distal sistólica

Hi, Daniel. See if "presión distal sistólica" is related in this context. It is not a condition in itself, but maybe, if the original text is not very well written... it may somehow apply. The term (and the corresponding abbreviation) appear in several hits related to ischemia and necrosis of extremities. Good luck!
