Abstract
Clinical, pathological and chemical data of a case of lipuria associated with chronic nephritis which terminated in uremia. The lipuria was influenced by the amount of fat in the diet. The absence of coagulated protein, the scarcity or absence of cells in the urine and the apparent absence of a fistulous communication between the urinary passages and the lymphatics at autopsy indicate that the lipuria was due to an altered permeability of the renal cells. The available evidence makes it probable that there are at least two types of lipuria, the one associated with a fistulous communication, the other entirely due to an abnormal condition of the kidney cells.
