Hanot made the well known statement "Il y a un oedème hépatique comme il y a un oedème renal." Gilbert and Lereboullet1observed in some cases of liver disease oliguria, "opsiurie hépatique," which in severe cases may lead to anuria. Later, experimental observations, particularly by E. P. Pick and his coworkers,2established the important rôle of the liver in water metabolism. Analogous clinical observations have also been made.3It seemed that the disturbance of water metabolism would be of diagnostic significance if it could...Bibliography1.
