A case of lipuria associated with chronic nephritis. 



By L. Bauman and G. H. Hansmann. 



[From the Department of Internal Medicine, State University of 



Iowa.] 



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.
