Babics Antal: Clinical and theoretical pictures of some renal diseases (Budapest, 1964)

CLINICAL AND THEORETICAL PICTURES OF SOME RENAL DISEASES by Professor A. BABICS M. D. and Associate Professor F. RÉNYI-VÁMOS M.D., D.Sc. The authors discuss the topog­raphy and network density of the lymphatics and summarize the results of many years of research work and practical experience. They demonstrate the lymphatics of the kidney by means of a new method: after ligating the ureter they follow all the developmental phases of hydronephrosis and pyelonephritis. The hydromech­anisms of the renal cavity and the effect of peristaltic disturbances due to various causes upon the function of the kidney are analyzed by accurate experimental tests. A new theo­ry of the development of hydro­nephrosis and pyelonephritis is described, explaining the clini­cal picture and events. The authors draw important con­clusions regarding therapy, diag­nostics and surgical indica­tions, and suggest operating principles which will facilitate the work of renal surgeons and will enable them to accomplish better results.
