Neil Stewart watercolour. Comments by W.T. Gairdner read "Kidney in a chronic case of albuminuria in which the fatty degeneration of the epithelium has taken place to a great degree, giving rise to the opaque yellowish deposits scattered through the cortical substance which is much atrophied as is shown in the upper left drawing by the thin layers of cortex and the spreading of the base of the pyramids nearly to the surface. The sections under low power (40 diam) show that, while the Malpighian tufts have mostly vanished, the veins of the surface are still well preserved."
