There are, perhaps^ few patliological processes whicli havebeen so accurately investigated as the coarser disturbancesof circulation in the renal vein. Max Hermann and Ludioig(114) found that after tying the renal vein the tubuli uriniferibecame completely closed in consequence of the obstructionto the return of the blood, so that the secretion of urineceased. If the renal vein became pervious again, the secre-tion of urine became quickly reestablished. Litten andBuchivald (115) who completely tied the renal vein, saw thekidney very quickly swell up, as the following example shows.Even within four hours of the ligature of the vein, the weight 296 MOVEABLE KIDNEY IN WOxMEN. ¥lG. 5..

The ligatured, kiduey usually became rapidly smaller after the sixth day, and very soon returned to its former size. In some casesthe ligatured kiduey became atrophied after some weeks. Gohnheim (ii6) observes that when the renal vein is tied, the kidney swells up so rapidly from obstruction to thereturn of blood and from the supervention of ODdema, thatin less than an hour it may be twice as heavy and
