Ménière's disease the inner ear. The American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium (AAO HNS CHE) set criteria for diagnosing Ménière's, as well as defining two sub-categories of Ménière's: cochlear (without vertigo) and vestibular (without deafness). In 1972, the Academy defined criteria for diagnosing Ménière's disease as: In 1985, this list changed to alter wording, such as changing "deafness" to "hearing loss associated with tinnitus, characteristically of low frequencies" and requiring more than one attack of vertigo to diagnose. Finally in 1995, the list was again altered to allow for degrees of the disease: In 2015, the
Acquired cystic kidney disease-associated renal cell carcinoma Acquired cystic kidney disease-associated renal cell carcinoma Acquired cystic kidney disease-associated renal cell carcinoma is rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma. It is most commonly seen in people with end-stage kidney disease who have a much higher risk of developing acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD). Affected individuals have small kidneys with several cysts and their risk of renal cell carcinoma is 30 times higher than people without ACKD. Bloody urine and flank pain in a person with end-stage kidney disease raise suspicion for ACKD-associated renal cell carcinoma. Although people with ACKD have a substantially higher risk of renal cell carcinoma,
