It is worth reëmphasizing that the clinical pictures resulting from terminal Bright's disease and terminal malignant hypertension with renal failure are very similar. From these similarities and their differences in courses arises the need for objective and accurate methods of differential diagnosis.There have been numerous studies2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9of the heart in...Bibliography1.
