Nephrosis refers to a non-inflammatory nephropathy.[1] 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.[2]
It should not be confused with nephritis, where inflammation is implied. However, some sources equate nephrosis with nephropathy.[3]
It can also be used to indicate an emphasis on the renal tubule.[4]
Examples include amyloid nephrosis and osmotic nephrosis.
