THE PATHOGENESIS OF ACUTE RENAL FAILURE ASSOCIATED WITH TRAUMATIC AND TOXIC INJURY. RENAL ISCHEMIA, NEPHROTOXIC DAMAGE AND THE ISCHEMURIC EPISODE 1

Abstract

Shortly after the publication in 1941 of his study of the "crush kidney," the late John Shaw Dunn sent tissue showing the peculiar tubular lesion that characterizes this condition to the senior author for microdissection. Somewhat later similar material was received from Dr. J. Edgar Morison of Belfast and this was followed by the gift of a considerable collection of examples of that larger group of renal lesions which was later to become known as "lower nephron nephrosis" from Dr. Baldwin Lucke.
