1. Nephrosis

   Nephrosis is any of various forms of kidney disease (nephropathy). In an old and broad sense of the term, it is any nephropathy, but in current usage the term is usually restricted to a narrower sense of nephropathy without inflammation or neoplasia, in which sense it is distinguished from nephritis, which involves inflammation. It is also defined as any purely degenerative disease of the renal tubules. Nephrosis is characterized by a set of signs called the nephrotic syndrome. Nephrosis can be a primary disorder or can be secondary to another disorder. Nephrotic complications of another disorder can coexist with nephritic complications. In other words, nephrosis and nephritis can be pathophysiologically contradistinguished, but that does not mean that they cannot occur simultaneously. Types of nephrosis include amyloid nephrosis and osmotic nephrosis.

1. nephrosis

   Nephrosis is a non-inflammatory kidney disease characterized by damage to the filtering units (nephrons) of the kidney, leading to the presence of excessive protein in the urine, low protein levels in blood, and high cholesterol. This condition often has no early symptoms and can lead to kidney failure if left untreated. It is also known as nephrotic syndrome.

1. Nephrosis

   Nephrosis refers to a non-inflammatory nephropathy. Also known as nephrotic syndrome, nephrosis is any degenerative disease of the renal tubules. Nephrosis can be caused by kidney disease, or it may be secondary to another disorder. It should not be confused with nephritis, where inflammation is implied. However, some sources equate nephrosis with nephropathy. It can also be used to indicate an emphasis on the renal tubule. Examples include amyloid nephrosis and osmotic nephrosis.
