. Diseases of the kidneys, ureters and bladder, with special reference to the diseases of women. e always open—that is, the obstruction is inter-mittent. A sudden and complete obstruction of the ureter leads to but littlehydronephrosis, which has been shown on human beings as well as on , for example, tying the ureter; then the urine is secreted until thepressure reaches at least 73 mm. of mercury, when it stops. If the obstruc-tion is not removed, atrophy of the parenchyma sets in and in the end com-plete sclerosis. The small amount of fluid accumulated in the pelvis, undersuch circumstances, is usually absorbed. It is still a question how long suchan obstruction can be maintained without permanent injury to the kidney. We personally know of a case where, during an operation for removal ofa cancerous uterus, both ureters were tied, with consequent complete anuriafor more than 24 hours. In this case removal of the ligatures was followed byprofuse secretion of the urine, and apparently no injury whatever to the func-tion of the kidneys. 1.
