Comment

The clinical information provided by the autopsy protocol听 (Case CLXXXIV, Rodin 230-232 rodin_oslerian_pathology_230.pdf) suggests the patient had edema and malnutrition. The kidneys are reported to weigh approximately 120 g each, consistent with a moderate degree of atrophy. However, these are not clearly kidneys of chronic renal failure and (as Rodin suggests) may represent arteriolosclerosis secondary to chronic hypertension rather than primary kidney disease.
