It is not always easy to differentiate this condition from other forms of nephritis. A pure form of tubular nephritis is probably present only during the initial stage, and mixed forms occur as the disease progresses. Davison and Salinger1pointed this out. Elwyn2was of the opinion that cases of glomerular nephritis may, in course of time, merge into the tubular form. We have under observation at the present time a case in which just such a transition seems to be taking place. The outstanding clinical features of tubular nephritis, apparently characteristic of only
