Uncontrolled

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Uncontrolled refers to a state or condition that is not regulated, managed, or restrained. In a medical context, it often refers to a disease or condition that is not being effectively managed or treated, such as uncontrolled diabetes or uncontrolled hypertension.

Definition[edit | edit source]

The term "uncontrolled" is used in medicine to describe a disease or condition that is not being effectively managed or treated. This could be due to a variety of factors, including noncompliance with treatment, ineffective treatment, or progression of the disease.

Examples[edit | edit source]

Uncontrolled Diabetes[edit | edit source]

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. When diabetes is uncontrolled, it means that the individual's blood sugar levels are consistently too high, which can lead to serious complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage.

Uncontrolled Hypertension[edit | edit source]

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is another condition that can become uncontrolled. This occurs when an individual's blood pressure remains consistently too high, despite treatment. Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to serious health problems, including stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure.

Management[edit | edit source]

The management of uncontrolled conditions often involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring. For example, uncontrolled diabetes may be managed through a combination of diet, exercise, insulin therapy, and regular blood sugar monitoring.
