[edit] Merge nephritis
Quote from emedicine: "Nephritis is an older term used to clinically denote a child with hypertension, decreased renal function, hematuria, and edema. Technically, nephritis suggests a noninfectious inflammatory process involving the nephron; glomerulonephritis (GN) generally is a more precise term." --WS 21:52, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

- I oppose the merge, but I've added a "Subtypes" section to Nephritis, which could help provide clarification. Wikipedia already had a pyelonephritis page, so I added that to the list too. --Arcadian 22:34, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

- Ok, that is a quick answer. I removed the notices on top of the articles. --WS 22:56, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Language
Can someone simplify the language in this article? I can hardly understand it, and it looks like it was copied out of a scientific journal. SCHZMO ✍ 21:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Thirded. Many people are going to be looking this up wanting to know real world information such as how you know you have it (bubbles in the water when you urinate from the excreted albumin), what treatment is, outlook, how you get it etc. I think that info is much more useful than the specific medical backround. Anybody who wants to know the medical specifics most likely already has the knoweldge of knowing how to look that stuff up. -Ryan Rjkd12 22:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
