| salt-losing nephritis | A rare disorder resulting from renal tubular damage of a variety of aetiologies; mimics adrenocortical insufficiency in that abnormal renal loss of sodium chloride occurs, accompanied by hyponatraemia, azotemia, acidosis, dehydration, and vascular collapse. Synonym: salt-losing syndrome, Thorn's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |

| hereditary nephritis | <pathology> An inherited disorder involving damage to the kidneys, haematuria and hearing loss. In some individuals vision may also be affected. This genetic disease is uncommon. Symptoms include loss of hearing, abnormal colour to urine, swelling, cough and decline in vision. Inheritance: sex-linked autosomal dominant. Incidence: 1 in 50,000. (27 Sep 1997) |
| scarlatinal nephritis | Acute glomerulonephritis occurring as a complication of scarlet fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serum nephritis | Glomerulonephritis occurring in serum sickness or in animals injected with foreign serum protein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nephritis | <nephrology> Inflammation of the kidney, a focal or diffuse proliferative or destructive process which may involve the glomerulus, tubule or interstitial renal tissue. Origin: Gr. Nephros = kidney (18 Nov 1997) |
| nephritis gravidarum | Nephritis developing in pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nephritis, hereditary | Hereditary disease characterised initially by haematuria and slowly progressing to renal insufficiency. It is sometimes associated with perceptual deafness and/or congenital ocular defects. (12 Dec 1998) |
| subacute nephritis | Undesirable term for glomerulonephritis with proteinuria, haematuria and azotemia persisting for many weeks; renal changes are variable, including those of rapidly progressive and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Synonym: subacute nephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suppurative nephritis | Focal glomerulonephritis with abscess formation in the kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic nephritis | A rare complication of congenital and secondary syphilis, with the nephrotic syndrome, resulting from glomerular immune-complex deposits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immune complex nephritis | An immune complex disease resulting from glomerular deposits, as in systemic lupus erythematosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ellis type 1 nephritis | An obsolete designation for glomerulonephritis presenting as acute glomerulonephritis, followed by complete recovery in most cases, or the development of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, or incomplete remission with persistent proteinuria and subsequent development of chronic glomerulonephritis. Synonym: Ellis type 1 nephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ellis type 2 nephritis | An obsolete designation for glomerulonephritis which is usually not related to preceding bacterial infection; characterised by an insidious onset of the nephrotic syndrome, failure of complete remission, and eventual development of chronic renal failure. The kidneys usually show membranous glomerulonephritis. Synonym: Ellis type 2 nephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transfusion nephritis | Renal failure and tubular damage resulting from the transfusion of incompatible blood; the haemoglobin of the haemolyzed red cells is deposited as casts in the renal tubules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trench nephritis | An obsolete term for glomerulonephritis occurring in soldiers subjected to cold and damp conditions in trenches. (05 Mar 2000) |
