The condition, how-ever, is the result of the ureteral catheter kinking in anelastic and partially filled ureter. CHAPTER IV ABNORMAL POSITION The position of the normal kidney is not fixed, and itis difficult to place any arbitrary limits to the extent of nor-mal change in position. Nevertheless, a marked deviationfrom the usual position should be regarded as position of the kidney may be the result of thefollowing conditions: (1) Movable kidney; (2) renal tor-sion; (3) dystopic or pelvic kidney. MOVABLE KIDNEY As a result of various anatomic conditions, the kidneymay become movable, and its position will vary, dependingupon the attitude assumed by the patient. Movable kid-ney is commonly found in the ill-nourished, with l
