BRIGHT'S DISEASE
Bright's disease, also known as nephritis, is a general term used to describe a group of kidney diseases characterized by inflammation and damage to the structures of the kidneys. This condition primarily affects the glomeruli, which are the tiny blood vessels responsible for filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood, leading to impaired kidney function. Bright's disease can have various causes, such as infections, autoimmune disorders, or certain medications, and its symptoms may include high blood pressure, edema (swelling), blood or protein in the urine, and decreased urine output. If left untreated, Bright's disease can progress to chronic kidney disease and ultimately, kidney failure.

Bright's disease
Bright's disease is a historical classification of kidney diseases that would be described in modern medicine as acute or chronic nephritis. The term is no longer used, as diseases are now classified according to their more fully understood causes. It is typically denoted by the presence of serum albumin in the urine, and frequently accompanied by edema and hypertension.
