Nephritis is to do with the kidneys http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/physical_health/conditions/nephritis1.shtml

I think it says 1a rather than "lo". Then under is [1]b, followed by 11 (meaning 2).

It is '1a' Uraemia which is caused by kidney failure.

Under that is 'b' chronic nephritis.

If I remember correctly, the causes are listed as a and b.  a is the immediate cause while b is the underlying condition which led to the immediate cause.

The Rheumatic Endocarditis is damage to the heart  probably from previous  rheumatic fever.
