- In 1722, Theodore Zwinger of Basel described nephrotic syndrome in children, with decreased urine output due to “obstruction and compression of the tubules of the kidney.”
- In 1827, Richard Bright described the triad of generalized edema, proteinuria, and kidney disease, as features of nephrotic syndrome.
- In 1905, Müller described the term of "nephrosis" for non-inflammatory kidney diseases.[1]
