A man, aged 40, was admitted to the N. hospital. He said that he felt a persistent pain in the lumbar region. He stated that he had had tonsillitis about three weeks before and had recently been laid up with the grippe for a week. Physical examination showed that the man had a slight oedema of the face. The doctor suspected some kind of kidney trouble. Repeated tests of the urine revealed that albumen and blood were present in it which showed that the man was suffering from some kidney disturbance. He received an appropriate treatment and was kept in bed for three weeks. The amount of liquid allowed was strictly limited. Gradually the symptoms became less marked. At one of the doctor’s examinations the patient stated that the pain in his back had disappeared, and he felt better.

He hoped that soon he would be able to resume his work and asked the physician whether he could have a change of diet, but this was not allowed. When the patient was leaving the hospital, he was told that he would have to keep the diet for some time and was advised to avoid animal food and too much salt.
