Nephritic
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Nephritical
(n.) A medicine adapted to relieve or cure disease of the kidneys.
Example Sentences:
(1) From a practical point of view, it appears that patients forming anti-GBM antibodies may not be good candidates for renal transplantation since they are likely to produce in the transplants the nephritic changes already suffered by their own kidneys.

(3) The serum of both patients contained detectable amounts of C3NeF, a factor which has been shown to react with a cofactor found in normal serum to form an enzyme, designated C3 lytic nephritic factor (C3LyNeF), which will cleave C3 to form the breakdown products, beta1A and alpha 2D.
(4) This nephritic factor was found in patients with reduced serum levels of terminal components and its activity, like that of the nephritic factor in MPGN type II, correlated with the serum C3 level indicating that these nephritic factors play a large role in producing hypocomplementemia.
