Abstract

1.1. Nephritis in pregnancy is clearly divisible into three major classes: 1.1.A. The nephritis of pregnancy (syndrome of renal fatigue in pregnancy).1.2.B. Eclamptic intoxication.1.3.C. Preexisting renal and/or vascular disease exacerbated by pregnancy.2.2. A fourth group includes all those cases having other complications, such as cardiac disease, thyrotoxicosis, infections, and obstetric difficulties.3.3. Each of these groups is clearly defined and retains individual characteristics.4.4. The clinical syndrome, date and type of onset, associated changes, mode of therapeutic attack, and the prognosis differ in each group.5.5. These differences have been pointed out and discussed.6.6. Efficient therapy can be obtained only through proper recognition of the type of renal disease, careful consideration of the causative factors of the renal injury, and constant cognizance of the condition of the patient. It is not the disease which requires treatment, but the patient.
