| 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) |
| nephritis, interstitial | Primary or secondary disease of the renal interstitial tissue resulting from arterial, arteriolar, glomerular, or tubular disease which destroys individual nephrons, or from toxic involvement of interstitital cells and tubules due to systemic diseases such as gout, to drug exposure, or to mercury poisoning. Clinically it may be manifested primarily by loss of concentrating capacity, mineral wasting, proteinuria, and abnormal urine sediment. It may be seen in an acute form, particularly after specific bacterial infection, and may result in acute papillary necrosis. More commonly, the process is a chronic one with progressive renal atrophy and diminution of renal function. (12 Dec 1998) |

| nephroblastomatosis | <radiology> Persistent primitive renal tissue (normally present up to 36 weeks), potential precursor to Wilms tumour: present in 30% of kidneys with single and 100% of kidneys with bilateral Wilms tumour associated with: hemihypertrophy, sporadic aniridia, pseudohermaphroditism, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, splenic agenesis with hepatic malformation findings: kidneys may be enlarged, deformity of the pelvocalyceal system, ultrasound: subtle subcapsular nodules (hypo-/iso-/hyperechoic), CT: hypodense subcapsular nodules after contrast enhancement (12 Dec 1998) |
| nephrocalcinosis | A form of renal stone disease where the kidney tissue is characterised by foci of calcification in addition to numerous deposits of calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate. (27 Sep 1997) |
