胸管ドレナーヂ法の腎不全への応用

Abstract

Thoracic duct drainage has been a remedy to as c ites in cirrhosis of liver and a way to eliminate nitrogenous substances in uremia. We carried out this method to a case of anuria with azotemia and ascites, and a case of azotemia of malignant hypertension. In the first case, we g o t sufficient thoracic duct lymph to eliminate azotemia but in the second case we could'nt get sufficient thoracic duct lymph and we failed in eliminating azotemia. From our experience, we believe that if we get sufficient thoracic duct lymph, this method is very useful remedy to renal failure.
