| acute nephritis | <nephrology> A disease of the kidneys that results in inflammation of the glomerulus (the portion of the kidney that filters the blood). Conditions which may cause glomerulonephritis include post-streptococcal disease (strep throat), lupus, syphilis, bacterial endocarditis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, sepsis, vasculitis, Goodpasture's syndrome, typhoid fever, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, hepatitis or a viral infection (for example mumps, measles, mononucleosis).

| analgesic nephritis | Chronic interstitial nephritis with renal papillary necrosis, occurring in patients with a long history of excessive consumption of analgesics, especially those containing phenacetin. Synonym: analgesic nephropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-basement membrane nephritis | Glomerulonephritis produced by autologous or heterologous antibodies to the glomerular capillary basement membranes, the latter known as anti-kidney serum nephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-kidney serum nephritis | Experimental glomerulonephritis produced by injection of antiserum to kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Masugi's nephritis | Glomerulonephritis produced by injecting into rats a rabbit antiserum prepared against rat kidney tissue suspensions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glomerular nephritis | <nephrology> A variety of nephritis characterised by inflammation of the capillary loops in the glomeruli of the kidney. It occurs in acute, subacute and chronic forms and may be secondary to haemolytic streptococcal infection. Evidence also supports possible immune or autoimmune mechanisms. (18 Nov 1997) |
| mesangial nephritis | Glomerulonephritis with an increase in glomerular mesangial cells or matrix, or mesangial deposits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic nephritis | Glomerulonephritis that presents with persisting proteinuria, chronic renal failure, and hypertension, of insidious onset or as a late sequel of acute glomerulonephritis; the kidneys are symmetrically contracted and granular, with scarring and loss of glomeruli and the presence of tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis. Synonym: chronic nephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemorrhagic nephritis | Acute glomerulonephritis accompanied by haematuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
