[Morphologic changes in the internal organs and blood under conditions of disrupted lymph flow]

The histological study has shown that under conditions of the disturbed lymph outflow along the thoracic duct the intraorganic architecture of the vascular system of kidneys, liver, heart, lungs and pancreas undergoes reorganization and in the parenchyma and stroma of the organs there appear morphological changes. The intraorganic lymphatic and venous vessels were sharply dilated and considerable oedema of the perivascular connective tissue developed. Then, due to congestion of the lymph the interalveolar septa of the lung and the hepatic connective tissue fibres became hoarse and denser. In the heart and kidneys the protein dystrophy was mildly pronounced. The investigation of blood has demonstrated lymphocytopenia. The urea contained 1% of sugar.
