nephrotic vs nephritic syndromes

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just try and understand them. Listen to Goljan explain this part in renal section. I thought the way he broke it down made it easier for me to remember them.
 
Does anyone have a good way to remember all the nephrotic and nephritic syndromes?

Draw a flowchart for yourself- 1st split is loss of protein < 3.5 g/day vs > 3.5 g/day... then find ways to separate out within each category.

For nephrotic, rem which is #1 most common, which is 2nd most common. Remember that hematuria/RBC casts usually not feature of nephrotic syndrome. I don't have my notes on me... but you get the gist.
