Abstract
No change in the gross or microscopic anatomy of the kidney could be demonstrated. The urea clearances and the incidence of albuminuria are no different from those in normal babies but the blood urea concn. is higher than normal. On the 2d day of life the toxemic babies are slightly hypertensive but this difference disappeared by the 4th day. An attempt is made to explain these findings by reference to Trueta''s ""shunt" theory of the renal circulation.Keywords
