Overview

Excerpt from Journal of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society, 1912, Vol. 28 In a recent anatomical study (1) of the nephritis produced in the dog by the use of various nephrotoxic substances it has been shown that these substances vary to some extent in the degree of their selective affinity for the different kidney tissues. Arse nic, for example, has a striking affinity for the blood vessel tissue of the kidney; while potassium dichromate causes an involvement of the epithelial element of the kidney much earlier than does any of the usually employed nephrotoxic substances. Uranium nitrate, a substance which has frequently been employed to produce experimentally a nephritis, in its avidity for the different tissues of the kidney, is not so selective in its action as are the poisons just mentioned.
