Abstract:
The authors present the result of their experimental studies with the tensiometric method performed on human renal basins with the tensiometric method, under different conditions of stress. The studies have been based on the principle of recording microdeformations of basins under determined amounts of stress, and they have demonstrated the proportionality between the stress and the deformation as being a direct one. The most stressed areas have been evidenced, when transversal and antero-posterior compression was applied, and the mechanism is explained, of the rupture of the basins in relation with the concentration of the tension that have developed in a predilect way in certain areas.
