URINARY ORGANS.
►
The urine passed the day after the accident was amber-colored, specific
gravity 1038, somewhat strongly acid, throwing down on cooling a
slightly flocculent sediment, amorphous under the microscope. The
addition of acetic or nitric acid to the urine produced a copious
amorphous precipitate, soluble in excess of nitric acid and on the
application of gentle heat. On subsequent cooling a precipitate again
fell, and was found to consist of yellow halberts of uric acid mixed
with fine granular matter. No precipitate was obtained on boiling. No
albumen. There was large excess of urea. Mr. Stewart obtained good
reactions of iodine, combined, not free, and of indican. A day later the
specific gravity had fallen to 1025; the other actions were a before, [69].
