(X 6.) A transverse section across the entire kidney of a man of thirty-one years who diedof Brights disease. The capsule is greatly and irregularly thickened, and fibrous strandsextend from it into the perirenal fat; it contains a good many blood-vessels. The fibroidMalpighian bodies and round-cell infiltration cannot be clearly distinguished with suchlow amplification. The arteries are very numerous and their walls greatly large arteries are seen in the renal tissue itself, w is a portion of a calyx connectedwith the ureter. The proportion of fat to renal tissue is very large. Fig. 1mm. Fig. 115.—Contracted Kidney. (X 4-) Section across the kidney of a woman forty-two years of age who died of cerebralapoplexy.
