Talk:Glomerulonephritis

message: Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (a quote from Robbins would suffice) but I believe MPGN is more often listed as nephritic picture. Clearly the glomerulonephritidies are a continuum, and Membranoproliferative GN can (and often does) progress to Nephrotic syndrome. However, if I remember correctly from lecture, it presents as 60% -itic and 40% -otic.
Assuming I can get a consensus, it should be fixed both on this page and on the Membranoproliferative page itself (as well as the pathology charts at the bottom of the pages).

message: 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)

replies: text: 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)

Wikipedia guidelines state that: "Wikipedia articles can include links to Web pages outside Wikipedia. Such pages could contain further research that is accurate and on-topic; information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks); or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article (such as reviews and interviews)". 
I believe that information found at the UNC Kidney Center on glomerular diseases is beneficial to Wiki readers as it related glomerular disease and glomerulonephritis in a "patient-friendly" way. Please feel free to visit and see for yourself: http://unckidneycenter.org/patients/glom_disease.htm. I would appreciate any feedback.
