Inflammation affecting the colon, bladder, and pelvis of the kidney all at the same time.
Combines Greek 'kolon' (colon), 'kystis' (bladder), 'pyelos' (kidney pelvis), with Latin '-itis' (inflammation). Created by stacking multiple Greek medical roots to describe a complex multi-organ infection.
This is one of those gloriously long medical words that sounds intimidating but is actually just three different organ names plus 'inflammation'—it's like a medical Mad Lib where doctors keep adding more body parts to describe progressively worse infections.
