A study of the renal lesions by microdissection of the nephrons. In acute renal failure related to toxic and traumatic injuries, the structural alterations which are correlated with and which may reasonably explain the functional disturbances in the kidney are those of a tubular nephropathy. Two sorts of tubule injury are encountered. The first is a nephrotoxic necrosis limited to that part of the nephron, the proximal convolution, which is functionally concerned with the handling of the poison. Since poisons are distributed by the renal circulation, all nephrons are equally involved. The 2d type of lesion is a disruption of the renal tubule (tubulorhexis) due to focal cortical ischemia. It occurs at random among nephrons and in any part of a nephron. In the kidney of any case of fatal acute renal failure arising under various clinical circumstances these 2 lesions appear in varying proportions depending on the nature of the renal insult, whether toxic or circulatory or both. In acute renal failure of non-toxic origin (shock, crush injury, etc.) the insult is purely circulatory, a part of or an episode in the general circulatory disturbance which has involved the peculiarly susceptible area of the renal blood flow. The term ischemuric episode is suggested to designate this complication. Such a renal circulatory episode also may occur as a consequence of the general circulatory disturbances of grave intoxication. From this coincidence stems the unity of pathogenesis in the group of acute renal failure as a whole the members of which include such clinically disparate origins as crush injury, transfusion reactions, obstetrical accidents and fatal poisonings.
