It is not possible to distinguishbetween the two cells in the transition mucus-cell is spherical and earliest of the pus-cells are also sphericaland mono-nuclear. But the nucleus is seen toelongate, to become reniform, and soon tre-foiled, or with a triple nucleus, and occasionallyas many as four may be seen. Dilute aceticacid added to these cells render the nuclei morevisible. The fluid (liquor puris) accompanyingthese cells is albuminous, so that purulent urinealways displays this property. Pus derived from the kidneys, or the pelvisof the organ, is perfectly miscible with the* THE URINE. 285 ORGANICFORMS.

Pus ispresent in the urine in the following dis-orders :— In nephritis; in calculous nephritis ; in tu-bercular nephritis; in calculous pyelitis; intubercular pyelitis. Pus-cells may be seen in other disorders, butthey are either few in comparison with thesediseases, or the urine is viscous from admix-ture of mucus, as in diseases of the bladder orprostate.
