Merge with Nephrotic Snydrome

I suggest we merge this page with the nephrotic syndrome wiki. This page is essentially blank and offers no insight as to the disease etiology. By the same reference (#1), "It is characterized by the NEPHROTIC SYNDROME indicating the presence of PROTEINURIA and HYPOALBUMINEMIA with accompanying EDEMA." The remaining cited publications indicate that nephrosis and nephrotic syndrome are essentially the same thing.

This Article Needs Major Clean-Up

I hope a top notch medical or research person can fix it up. I'm just a lowly dental student. I added what I could.

Nephrosis vs. nephritis

I reverted the last edit stating that nephrosis is a form of nephritis as it broke sentence flow and contradicted the next sentence. I did a bit of searching and it looks like the nephrosis != nephritis statement is correct, but this should be looked at by an expert. 24.4.198.162 (talk) 11:11, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
