Not illustrated. 1922 Excerpt: ...more distinct. The progressive transformation of the glomeruli into fibrous masses (wafers) is marked. At first the capillary tuft retracts toward one pole, only occupying a part of the capsular cavity, then it unites itself with the capsule of Bowman and finally degenerates altogether and becomes a mass of collagenous material. B. The convoluted tubules do not show any disturbance that can be attributed to cadaveric change, but under the capsule of the kidney they undergo a dilatation that is quite marked and explains the little bosselations that appear upon the surface of the kidneys of cases of Bright's disease, and remain as small pale spots when the capsule of the organ is torn off. The drawing shows two of these granulations separated by a slight groove, at the bottom of which an infiltration of blue cells (lymphocytes) can be seen. The ectasia of the convoluted tubules in the neighborhood of these granulations is referable to functional activity of the organ (compensatory hypertrophy). C. The stroma also shows important changes. The masses of bluish cells between the glomerules and the tubules sometimes indicate an inflammatory reaction of chronic nature, sometimes a terminal process--an addition of a subacute nephritis to a chronic sclerotic one. The vessels have extremely thick walls; their lumen is correspondingly diminished, and almost obstructed by the enormous proliferation of the middle and internal coats. In the medullary substance, not shown in the drawing, the lumina of the collecting tubes is obstructed by rounded masses of homogeneous substance--tube casts. Resume.--Nephritis, whose lesions affect chiefly the glomerules and stroma, and relatively spare the convoluted tubules. The stroma and parenchyma are both affected, again showing the ...
