In the absence of these diseases, it is less commonly found and less commonly searched for. The subject of extrarenal uremia is not new. As a complication superimposed upon an already serious medical or surgical disorder, however, its importance is great and its interest paramount. Two cases of extrarenal uremia treated at the Milwaukee County Hospital are reported here.CASE REPORTSCase 1.
