In the course of thirteen years, 5994 postmortem examinations were done, among which six cases of renal cortical necrosis were found. These are classified according to microscopical changes. Only three were registered as complications to obstetric diseases. The manifestation of microfibrin thrombosis is found to bee an essentiel factor in the pathogenesis of the condition. According to the similar findings in the generalized Shwartzman reaction, the pathogenesis of renal cortical necrosis is discussed and it is presumed that this condition is confined to a common mechanism, through a varying clinical picture and apparently different pathogenesis.
