He advanced the idea that the type of renal pathology might be predicted from study of the sediment.

Since that time Goldring3has made studies of the sediment of clinically well adults and of adults with nephritis, rheumatic heart disease, subacute bacterial endocarditis and pneumonia. His averages for normal adults were higher than those of Addis. Naeraa4has reported figures for well adults higher than those of Addis and lower than those of Goldring. He also made the interesting observation that the number of red blood cells increases with the age of the individual. The first work with children in this field
