Abstract
The authors have studied in 10 dogs the consequences which the tying of the efferent lymphatic vessels has had on the renal function. On the basis of the experimental results they affirm that the renal lymphatic system plays a role of fundamental importance in the regulation of the complex mechanism of urinary concentration and dilution by means of which the composition and quantity of the body fluids is maintained constant.
