| nephrosis, lipoid | Glomerular disease causing heavy proteinuria characterised by absence of obvious histologic glomerular changes on light microscopy. It is also called minimal change glomerular disease and minimal lesion glomerulonephritis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| lipoid nephrosis | <nephrology> A disorder of the kidneys which largely affects the glomerulus, the blood filtering structure. This disorder is one common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children affecting 2 to 3 children per 100,000 population under age 16 in the us. Minimal change disease is also seen rarely in adults. The cause is unknown but may be related to an autoimmune illness. Risk factors include a history for a immune disorder, recent immunisation or a bee sting. Diagnosis is made by renal biopsy. Treatment include systemic corticosteroids which are usually quite effective in curing this disease. Other medications include chlorambucil and cyclophosphamide. In most cases, a moderate protein diet (1 gram protein per Kg body weight per day) will be recommended. Salt (sodium) restriction can be helpful to reduce swelling and vitamin D is usually supplemented. (27 Sep 1997) |

| lipoid | 1. Resembling fat. 2. Former term for lipid. Synonym: adipoid. Origin: Lipo-+ G. Eidos, appearance (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipoid granuloma | Granuloma characterised by aggregates or accumulations of fairly large mononuclear phagocytes that contain lipid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipoid proteinosis | <disease> A familial disease occurring in the course of latent diabetes, marked by yellowish nodules due to deposits of a protein-lipid complex on the oral tongue and sublingual and faucial areas, translucent keratotic papillomatous eyelid lesions, keratotic lesions on the extremities, and hoarseness. It is due to a disturbance of lipid metabolism with autosomal recessive inheritance and is frequently associated with intracranial calcifications. inheritance: autosomal recessive. Synonym: hyalinasis cutis et mucosae, lipoidosis cutis et mucosae, Urbach-Wiethe disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipoid theory of narcosis | That narcotic efficiency parallels the coefficient of partition between oil and water, and that lipoids in the cell and on the cell membrane absorb the drug because of this affinity. Synonym: Meyer-Overton theory of narcosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute lobar nephrosis | A severe but localised bacterial infection of the renal parenchyma that may produce a mass effect simulating a renal abscess. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute nephrosis | Acute oliguric renal failure, especially that caused by certain poisons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amyloid nephrosis | The nephrotic syndrome due to deposition of amyloid in the kidney. See: renal amyloidosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bile nephrosis | <gastroenterology, nephrology> Acute renal failure occurring in a patient with liver failure. The exact causal relationship in unclear, but those with alcoholic cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis are at greatest risk. Symptoms include decreased or absent urine production, jaundice, abdominal swelling, delirium, confusion, nausea and vomiting. Prognosis is very poor. (27 Sep 1997) |
| vacuolar nephrosis | Vacuolation of the epithelial cytoplasm of renal convoluted tubules in patients seriously depleted of potassium; vacuoles do not contain fat or glycogen, concentrating ability is impaired, polyuria and polydipsia are common, and pyelonephritis may develop. Synonym: vacuolar nephrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cholaemic nephrosis | An obsolete term for the occurrence of acute renal failure in jaundiced patients; the kidneys contain tubular casts of bile and may show tubular necrosis, but there is little evidence that jaundice or bile casts directly damage the kidneys. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cholemic nephrosis | <nephrology> Acute renal failure occurring in a patient with liver failure. The exact causal relationship in unclear, but those with alcoholic cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis are at greatest risk. Symptoms include decreased or absent urine production, jaundice, abdominal swelling, delirium, confusion, nausea and vomiting. Prognosis is very poor. (15 Jan 1998) |
| haemoglobinuric nephrosis | Acute oliguric renal failure associated with haemoglobinuria, due to massive intravascular haemolysis, e.g., following an incompatible blood transfusion; the kidneys show the morphologic changes of hypoxic nephrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypoxic nephrosis | Acute oliguric renal failure following haemorrhage, burns, shock, or other causes of hypovolaemia and reduced renal blood flow; frequently associated with patchy tubular necrosis, tubulorrhexis, and distal tubular casts of haemoglobin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nephrosis | A type of nephritis that is characterised by low serum albumin, large amount of protein in the urine and swelling (oedema). Swelling, weight gain, high blood pressure and anorexia are key features. Nephrotic syndrome can be seen with a number of illness that cause damage to the kidney glomerulus. Examples include diabetes, hereditary disorders, lupus, multiple myeloma, amyloidosis, glomerulonephritis, minimal change disease and membranous glomerulonephritis. (27 Sep 1997) |
