Medical history
I'm doing a pro bono edit of a translation of a small child's medical history, and this term has come up repeatedly. Here's some context:
Уплотнены стенки сосудов.
ЧЛС и сосудов уплотнены.
Мочеточники уплотнены.
The translator has rendered "уплотнены" as "hardened" in all cases. Is this correct?
Уплотнены стенки сосудов.
ЧЛС и сосудов уплотнены.
Мочеточники уплотнены.
The translator has rendered "уплотнены" as "hardened" in all cases. Is this correct?

"Sclerosis" just means hardening or stiffening, and can refer to blood vessels, skin, nerves, parts of the brain, or other organs. Atherosclerosis refers to thickening of the arteries due to deposit of fat, which generally occurs in older people. But there are many different causes of sclerosis, including diseases, that can affect young children: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sclerosis_(medicine)
Note from asker:
| I said this was a small child, but I should have mentioned that he is under three years of age. Is blood vessel sclerosis likely in a child that young? |

Comment: "My thanks to all who took the time to answer, and especially to Amy and Alessander for doing some research to support their suggestions. I found both justifications persuasive, but, unfortunately, i could pick only one winner."

Coronary magnetic resonance angiography and vessel wall imaging in children with Kawasaki disease.
In all subjects with a CAA, abnormally thickened vessel walls were found (2.5+/-0.5 mm).

Pulmonary vessels can become narrowed and torturous with thickened vessel walls—a development that decreases vascular compliance and increases

Pediatric Vasculitis
Takayasu Arteritis (TA)
Once TA is suspected imaging often helps to confirm the diagnosis. The gold standard for TA imaging is angiography. However, it is invasive and cannot detect thickened vessel walls, an early sign of inflammation. CT and MR angiograms are less invasive than conventional angiography and can detect luminal diameter changes (Figure 5A) and vessel wall thickening (Figure 5B)
