Abstract
Conclusion
(1) If the entire urinary secretion in dogs is diverted into the lower ileum, a partial reabsorption occurs, as indicated by a sustained rise in the blood N.P.N. and symptoms of toxemia, but no elevation in the arterial blood pressure is produced.
(2) If the urine from one kidney is deviated directly into the venacava by uniting the ureter and lumbar vein, no toxic symptoms appear, the blood N.P.N. remains within normal limits, and there is no rise in the arterial blood pressure. These experiments give no support to the theory of a specific nephrogenic toxin as postulated by Brücke.
