'''Nephrosis''' is any of various forms of [[kidney disease]] (nephropathy). In an old and broad [[word sense|sense]] of the term, it is any nephropathy,<ref name="Dorlands">{{Citation |author=Elsevier |author-link=Elsevier |title=Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary |publisher=Elsevier |url=http://dorlands.com/ |postscript=.}}</ref> but in current [[usage]] the term is usually restricted to a narrower sense of nephropathy without [[inflammation]] or [[neoplasm|neoplasia]],<ref name="MeshName_Nephrosis">{{MeshName|Nephrosis}}</ref> in which sense it is distinguished from [[nephritis]], which involves inflammation. It is also defined as any purely [[degenerative disease|degenerative]] disease of the [[nephron#Renal tubule|renal tubules]].<ref name="Dorlands"/> Nephrosis is characterized by a set of [[medical sign|signs]] called the [[nephrotic syndrome]].<ref name="MeshName_Nephrosis"/> Nephrosis can be a primary disorder or can be secondary to another disorder.<ref name="MeshName_Nephrosis"/> '''Nephrotic''' [[complication (medicine)|complications]] of another disorder can coexist with nephritic complications. In other words, nephrosis and nephritis can be [[pathophysiology|pathophysiologically]] contradistinguished, but that does not mean that they cannot occur simultaneously. Types of nephrosis include [[amyloid nephrosis]] and [[osmotic nephrosis]].{{cn|date=April 2021}}
