Dieckmann1 mentioned hemoglobinuria briefly. Young2 stated that cases of hemoglobinuria and eclampsia in which yellow pigment was observed in the collecting tubules have been reported in the German literature by Schmorl, Brütt and Schumm and others. These authors also gave a description of the renal failure associated with intravascular hemolysis. This hemolysis was attributed by them to the "poison" present in the patient's blood at the acme of the eclamptic attack.Terplan and Javert3and Licciardello and Stanbury4noted acute hemolytic anemia following...Bibliography1.
