Looks like that "Brice Disease" is a misspelling Bright's disease, which signifies chronic or acute nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys). Typical symptoms are back pain, fever, vomiting and edema. Another diagnostic is the detection of albumin in urine. It is a severe disease, which must be treated by a medical professional.
