Bright's Disease (brits dis-lz f ') [Bright, an English 

 physician]. A name formerly incorrectly used as a 

 synonym of albuminuria, and at present covering 

 several forms of disease of the kidney associated with 

 albumin in the urine. It may be acute {acute parenchy- 

 matous nephritis) or chronic I which includes chronic 

 parenchymatous nephritis, granular contraction of the 

 kidn vs, and albuminoia ation of the kidn 



Bright's disease is considered by Fothergill as 

 a secondary condition arising from a tendency to- 

 ward the reversion to that preanthropic type in which 

 the liver performed the additional office of excreting 

 uric acid. Acute Bright's Disease is sudden in its 

 onset, and is associated with chills, headache, hack- 

 ache, vomiting, ami edema, especially marked in the 

 eyelids and the cheeks. The urine is scanty or even 

 Suppressed, of a dark, smoky hue, and contain- a large 

 amount of albumin, and Mood. Microscopically, bli 

 corpuscles, renal epithelium, debris, and hyalin, epi 

 thelial, and blood-casts are found, and occasionally, 

 also, granular casts. < >< ca-ionally the glomeruli of the 

 kidney are the seal of tin- most marked change-, an. I 

 to this condition the term "glomerulo-nephritis," has 

 been given. The most frequent cause of acute 

 Bright's disease i- exposure to cold. It is often a coin 

 plication of the specific fevers, especially scarlet fever, 

 heath frequentl) results from uremia or cardiac failure, 

 or the disease may assume a i hronic form. Chronic 

 Bright's Disease embi has been said, three 



distinct diseases of the kidney. Chronic parenchy- 

 matous nephritis, usually following an acute at- 

 tack, is also known a- chronic tubal and chronic 

 quamative nephritis, and from it- size and pallor, 

 the kidney resulting from the disease is called the 

 ''large white kidney," The capsule peels off readily 

 and have- a smooth or very slightly granular sur 

 face. The tubules are most involved in the change; 

 they are enlarged and distended with proliferated 

 and swollen epithelial cells. Thei 

 ening of the interstitial tissue, as a rule. This large 

 kidney is prone to undergo degenerative chan 

 the protoplasm of the cells in the tubules bn 

 ing down into an amorphous debris. The kidi 

 shrinks, and :it the same time undergoes an increase in 

 the interstitial tissue, forming what is known as the 

 " mall white kidney." Granular contraction of the 

 kidney i- also known a- chronic interstitial nephritis,
