Nephrosis is any of various forms of
signs called the nephrotic syndrome.[2] Nephrosis can be a primary disorder or can be secondary to another disorder.[2] Nephrotic complications of another disorder can coexist with nephritic complications. In other words, nephrosis and nephritis can be pathophysiologically contradistinguished, but that does not mean that they cannot occur simultaneously.[citation needed

Types of nephrosis include amyloid nephrosis and osmotic nephrosis.[citation needed
