Excerpt from Selected Monographs: Comprising Albuminuria in Health and Disease Such then is the shape which in recent years the theories with regard to albuminuria have assumed, mainly in Ger many, but also in other countries, as may be inferred from the latest writings of Charcot, (io) Lepine, (ii) and others. It is obvious that this theory has the advantage Of great simplicity as compared with the older views, for all other factors, to which formerly so much thought and investigation were directed, are now held to be inoperative they are even scarcely mentioned. Posner, indeed, does not think it worth while to discuss them, for he asserts that they are devoid of any real basis. He goes, however, much too far in his assertions for some time past facts have accumulated clearly indicating the dependence of many forms of albuminuria upon alterations in membranes other than those of the Mal pighian tufts, and yet concerned in the secretion of urine, or upon changes in the condition of the blood. The facts referred to could Iiot therefore be excluded from a treatise on this subject, and they will be examined in the following sections after the influence of circulatory changes has been discussed, for to these latter they are undoubtedly subordinate in importance.
