Loss of blood was replaced by blood transfusions. Despite all these measures she undoubtedly lost weight. Fig. 1 shows the extent of the fluid replacement necessary over nearly five months, plotted in five-day periods, and it will be seen that the losses were very great. At their maximum, calculation shows that the fistula losses were of the order of five litres a day. Since the patient at this time weighed less.
