Erythemas

Blister

A blister is a small pocket of body fluid (lymph, serum, plasma, blood, or pus) within the upper layers of the skin, usually caused by forceful rubbing (friction), burning, freezing, chemical exposure or infection.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Blister

Cirrhosis

Cirrhosis, also known as liver cirrhosis or hepatic cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease, is a condition of the liver in which the normal functioning tissue, or parenchyma, is replaced with scar tissue (fibrosis) and regenerative nodules as a result of chronic liver disease.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Cirrhosis

Coeliac disease

Coeliac disease (British English) or celiac disease (American English) is a long-term autoimmune disorder, primarily affecting the small intestine, where individuals develop intolerance to gluten, present in foods such as wheat, rye and barley.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Coeliac disease

Crohn's disease

Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that may affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Crohn's disease

Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus, often known simply as diabetes, is a group of common endocrine diseases characterized by sustained high blood sugar levels.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Diabetes

Duodenal cancer

Duodenal cancer is a cancer in the first section of the small intestine known as the duodenum.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Duodenal cancer

Erythema

Erythema is redness of the skin or mucous membranes, caused by hyperemia (increased blood flow) in superficial capillaries.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Erythema

Fatty acid

In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with an aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Fatty acid

Glucagon

Glucagon is a peptide hormone, produced by alpha cells of the pancreas.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Glucagon

Glucagonoma

Glucagonoma is a very rare tumor of the alpha cells of the pancreas that results in the overproduction of the hormone glucagon.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Glucagonoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults and is currently the most common cause of death in people with cirrhosis.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Hepatocellular carcinoma

Immunofluorescence

Immunofluorescence (IF) is a light microscopy-based technique that allows detection and localization of a wide variety of target biomolecules within a cell or tissue at a quantitative level.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Immunofluorescence

Insulin

Insulin (from Latin insula, 'island') is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets encoded in humans by the insulin (INS) gene.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Insulin

Insulin-like growth factor 2

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) is one of three protein hormones that share structural similarity to insulin.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Insulin-like growth factor 2

List of skin conditions

Many skin conditions affect the human integumentary system—the organ system covering the entire surface of the body and composed of skin, hair, nails, and related muscle and glands.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and List of skin conditions

Liver disease

Liver disease, or hepatic disease, is any of many diseases of the liver.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Liver disease

Lung cancer

Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma, is a malignant tumor that begins in the lung.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Lung cancer

Malabsorption

Malabsorption is a state arising from abnormality in absorption of food nutrients across the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Malabsorption

Necrolytic migratory erythema

Necrolytic migratory erythema is a red, blistering rash that spreads across the skin. Necrolytic migratory erythema and Necrolytic migratory erythema are erythemas and rare diseases.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Necrolytic migratory erythema

Octreotide

Octreotide, sold under the brand name Sandostatin among others, is an octapeptide that mimics natural somatostatin pharmacologically, though it is a more potent inhibitor of growth hormone, glucagon, and insulin than the natural hormone.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Octreotide

Pancreas

The pancreas is an organ of the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Pancreas

Perineum

The perineum (perineums or perinea) in mammals is the space between the anus and the genitals.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Perineum

Skin condition

A skin condition, also known as cutaneous condition, is any medical condition that affects the integumentary system—the organ system that encloses the body and includes skin, nails, and related muscle and glands.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Skin condition

Small-cell carcinoma

Small-cell carcinoma is a type of highly malignant cancer that most commonly arises within the lung, although it can occasionally arise in other body sites, such as the cervix, prostate, and gastrointestinal tract. Necrolytic migratory erythema and Small-cell carcinoma are rare diseases.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Small-cell carcinoma

Ulcerative colitis

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the two types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with the other type being Crohn's disease.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Ulcerative colitis

Zinc deficiency

Zinc deficiency is defined either as insufficient zinc to meet the needs of the body, or as a serum zinc level below the normal range.

See Necrolytic migratory erythema and Zinc deficiency
