Fig. 162. ^^-^ ^- %-; ^^. ^-C^^-^^ Section of kidney in advanced granular degeneration; showing nucleated fibroustissue diffused between the tubes, the contents of which have been removed by wash-ing, except in one instance when the epithelium is seen unchanged, but the cavitycontains some corpuscles. A small arterial branch with hjpertropliied muscular coatis also shown. (From an original preparation.) Large Form of Interstitial Nephritis.—In some cases the anatomi-cal changes just described are met with in kidneys which are large,smooth, and pale, in which the cortex is enlarged, and the capsuleeasily removed, and which are, in short, not to be distinguishedby the naked eye from kidneys affected with parenchymatousnephritis. These constitute, accordingly, a certain proportion ofthe large, smooth kidneys of Bright. The secreting structureis in such cases often little altered ; a fact which has led somewriters to regard this as the necessary first stage of the contractedgranular kidney. There is, however, no
