title: [Pulmonary complications of azotemia. A case of uremic lung].
abstract: The authors studied the problem of pulmonary complications in acute and chronic uremia. They recalled the main characteristics of haemodynamic oedemas which can accompany the periods of left ventricular insufficiency during the evolution of uremia. They analized the characteristicsof the classic uremic lung representing in fact only a variety of lesional oedema in which the toxic effect of urea is controversial. Ventilatory consequences of chronic uremia were briefly exposed.
