Meaning of "xanthosis" in English

Xanthosis is a medical term that refers to a yellowish discoloration of the skin or tissues. This condition is often associated with the accumulation of carotenoids or bile pigments. It can be indicative of underlying health issues such as jaundice or certain metabolic disorders. In some cases, xanthosis is seen in individuals who consume an excessive amount of foods rich in carotenoids, like carrots or sweet potatoes, leading to a condition often termed carotenemia. While usually not harmful, xanthosis often prompts further medical investigation to determine its cause.

Meaning of "xanthosis" in French

In French, xanthosis refers to the same condition as in English: a yellowish pigmentation of the skin or tissues. It signifies the presence of excessive carotenoids or bile pigments within the body, leading to visible changes in skin color. The term can also relate to similar metabolic or liver-related conditions, signaling possible health complications that may require medical assessment. Like its English counterpart, xanthosis in French is particularly noted for its prevalence in those consuming carotenoid-rich foods, resulting in a benign form of skin discoloration.
