  •  Notes 
    • From www.wikipedia.org: Bright's Disease is a historical classification of kidney diseases that would be described in modern medicine as acute or chronic nephritis....It is typically denoted by the presence of albumin (blood plasma) in the urine, and frequently accompanied by edema (tissue particulate)....The symptoms are usually of a severe nature. Back pain, vomiting and fever commonly signal an attack. Edema, varying in degree from slight puffiness of the face to an accumulation of fluid sufficient to distend the whole body, and sometimes severely restrict breathing, is a very common ailment....This state of acute inflammation may severely limit normal daily activities, and if left unchecked, may lead to one of the chronic forms of Bright's disease.
