They were visibleto the naked eye, and consisted of mucin and fibrin. The author hastermed the condition ureteritis membranacea. A similar appearance isrecorded by 2. Fibrin Coagula.—Large and much-matted fibrin clots have beenobserved by the author146 in a case of renal abscess probably due toechinococci (fig. 132) ; and similar observations have been published byKlein ™ It may be mentioned here that Malerba, Senna-Saleris, and Eeale148 havenoticed that the urine occasionally has a stringy quality (glischruria) which theyattribute to a special fungus—the Fig. 132.—Fibrin Coagula from the Urine. V. Foreign Bodies in the Urine. As occasional impurities of the urine may be enumerated fatty par-ticles (often introduced with the catheter), fibres of silk, linen, andwool, particles of feathers and wood, and starch granules, the latterbeing employed as starch powder in medication of the urethra. The appearance in the urine of substances belonging to the fasces isa fact of serious import. In drawing a conclusion from their presence,care, of course, must be taken to ascertain that they were actually passedwith the urine; and when this is so, they are evidence of an abnormalcommunication between the urinary passages and the gut. 292 THE URINE Fragments derived from tumours, as sarcoma and carcinoma, mayfind their way into the urine by invasion from neighbouring organs. Hairs have been known to be passed with this fluid (pilimictio).They have generally
