I was just making an observation. Gosh. Anyway, the Administrator admonishes using this site for testing purposes (sticky note at top of page). I have no problem helping people out, but I was just making a general statment that it isn't necessary for people to post three or four posts in a row for the same question without giving anyone the time to answer them. Patience is a virtue. As far as testing goes, I really don't care one way or the other, but others do and make that point well know. It is so hard to post on this site sometimes because anything you say is taken way overboard. I was only making a simple observation.

misleading and inaccurate Google is. This definition is for acute PYELONEPHRITIS. You will not find "polynephritis" in any Stedman's or Dorland's reference. APN is the abbreviation for "acute pyelonephritis."
Poly means many. nephritis is inflammation of kidney.
