Excerpt from Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder: A d104-Book for Students of Medicine This book is based upon notes of lectures delivered to the medical students of the University of California. Some of the lectures have been revised and elaborated and divided into chapters. The nomenclature of kidney diseases, particularly of the inflammatory varieties, has been simplified as much as possible, in the hope that it may thus be the more readily understood by the student.
