Best Answer

Bright's disease is described in modern medicine as chronic or acute nephritis.

Such term is no longer used, because diseases are classified to their causes which are fully understood.

The presence of serum albumine in the urine, and if it's accompanied by edema and hypertension indicates the disease.

The English physician Richard Bright described the common symptoms for the first time in 1827. However, it is known now that such symptoms accompany various morbid kidney conditions. The term 'Bright's disease" is strictly retained for historical application.
