Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Renal Diseases and Urinary Analysis During the past ten years, the author has had ample opportunity for studying the various lesions of the kidneys, as they are found in human and animal subjects. The essential ideas advanced in this book, if any originality can be claimed, are based upon the statistics gathered from over one thousand post-mortems. Attention was devoted specially, during the course of studies in comparative medicine, to the class of lesions commonly known as Bright's disease, and it was from these observations, taken in connection with the opportunities that have offered since of watching these conditions from their inception in the human being, through the different phases of the disease, until finally they came to the postmortem table, that the deductions employed throughout the work were obtained. Among the lower animals, the necropsies were made immediately after death, and consequently accurate results were obtained in regard to the morbid changes in the epithelial protoplasm, and the examiner was enabled to judge how much of the metamorphotic change was due to the disturbed physiological condition prior to death, and how much was more directly due to the post-mortem alterations. Renal diseases have been studied chiefly from the clinical and pathological point of view, but we have tried to present them not only from this standard, but also from the physiological standpoint, deducing the methods of treatment not only from the physiological, but from the pathological phenomena.
