Evidence is accumulating that in the majority of instances of bilateral kidney disease of adult life the failure of the kidney function depends on a primary disease of the renal blood vessels. These cases are now variously classified as hypertensive renal disease, benign or malignant nephrosclerosis, and arteriosclerotic kidney disease. Contrariwise, in acute and chronic glomerulonephritis an "infectious process" is believed...Bibliography1 VOLHARDFAHR FKT: Die Brightsche Nierenkrankheit; Klinik.
