Tresorie - BRIGHTb>'Sb> DISEASE [Brights Disease]

It is difficult to say, because we have not yet studied this question of pathological anatomy, nor distinguished sufficiently simple interstitial nephritis from the interstitial nephritis which follows parenchymatous nephritis, and which constitutes Brightb>'sb> disease in its last stage.
This explanation is questionable, but, what is more important, dilatation of the heart is by no means always found in all cases of Brightb>'sb> disease.
We wish, however, to call to mind that true brightb>'sb> disease is distinguished form interstitial nephritis by the intensity of the anasarca and by urine so well marked in character, namely, scanty and loaded with albumin; while in interstitial nephritis the urine is exceedingly abundant, with albumin scanty, or but a trace.

SHELTON: CARE OF CHILDREN; chs. XXIII - XXIV

Any disease associated with digestive disorders and nutritive impairments, such as Brights disease, diabetes, rheumatism, uric-acid diathesis, ulcerative processes, child-bed fever, scrofula and menstrual disturbances, may be accompanied by skin disorders.
In Brightb>'sb> disease, for instance, the poisons that are held in the body, frequently give rise to skin disease.
Osler says: "Medical treatment of this disease is unsatisfactory; with the exception of arsenic no remedy seems to have any influence in controlling the processes of the affection." Of course, arsenic it not a remedy for anything, unless death may be regarded as a cure.

No matter how desperately ill you may become, Nature continually tries to save you.
