General Phenomena of the Perfusion of RecentlyExcised Kidney with Blood. 03 = 6. The typical phenomena are shown in Fig. 2. From this it maybe seen that the vein flow is suddenly increased, the maximum beingusually attained within five minutes. There is then a sharp returnof the vein curve toward a constant, which isgenerally reached within fifteen or twentyminutes. This constant is usually about thelevel of the original vein flow, but may beeither above or below. The oncometer shows a sharp and severefall from the start. This is quite indepen-dent of any changes in the vein flow. (Theslight irregularity in the figure is unusual,and probably accidental.) The ureter flow also shows a sharp andconspicuous decrease, being always reducedto a very few drops. In most cases this isfollowed by a slight improvement when thevein flow diminishes, as shown in the figure. As I have indicated in the introduction,these typical changes of the vein flow are not obtained in every experiment, because there are a number of inter-fering factors. The d
