The author sees the cause of nephrosis in the extrarenal factors and considers tubular degeneration a consequence rather than the cause of disorders arising from disorders of protein and lipoid metabolism in the body. Seeing albuminuria in chronic nephrosis as an expression of profound metabolic changes, he proposes the name diabetes albuminuricus for this disease.
