OBS

L'anglais semble établir une distinction beaucoup plus nette entre «focal glomerulonephritis» et «segmental glomerulonephritis» que ne le fait le français entre glomérulonéphrite focale et glomérulonéphrite segmentaire. En effet, l'Encyclopédie médico-chirurgicale (EMREI, 1978, vol. 1, 18052HIO, p. 1) et l'Anatomie pathologique (ANPAT, 1982, p. 989) ne parlent que de glomérulonéphrite segmentaire et focale.
