Dr. Snivastava suggests the use of the term "nephronophthisis" for these conditions. Does this term mean anything to most people, and if it does, how is it appropriate here? Is Familial Uraemic Medullary Cystic disease really a wasting away of the nephron, i.e., the tubular apparatus from Bowman's capsule to the collecting ducts, as the name nephronophthisis suggests? Surely it is time we stopped using Greek terms which to most are meaningless and generally wrongly applied, as would seem to be the case here.
