We have already discussed the relation of the renal vesselsand ureter during descent and rotation of the kidney, a rela-tion which is of great importance for the train of symptomsbefore us. We have also already found the acute angularcourse and torsion of the renal vessels established by someautopsies. In order, however, to bring these relations moreprominently into view I have got some preparations ofkidneys made artificially moveable in the dead subject drawn, these preparations showing some kinds of twisting and kink-ing of the vessels (see Figs. 4 and 5^). But my hypothesis is supported by experiment and byobservation of the clinical changes even more strongly thanby these drawings. I have to thank Dr. Guttmann, Director of the State Hospital at Moabitfor furnishing me with a subject, and Dr. Smidt for lielp in preparing thedissections.

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.
