Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 73: Pt. 2, September-December, 1919
Nephritis, the result of living organisms, may be called Type 3. True nephritis is concerned with the filter portion of the kidney, and the failure to filter out all the bacteria and their retention is responsible for the occurrence of one form of the disease, which is of great surgical importance. As to just how often such infections may be ascending or lymphogenous rather than hematogenous in origin there is a diversity of opinion. My own opinion is that such infections, other than hematogenous, are extremely rare so far as the kidney filter 15 concerned, though it is possible they may bey more frequent 111 that part of the kidney devoted to collecting urine.
