Excerpt from The Glasgow Medical Journal, Vol. 62: July to December, 1904
In estimating the frequency of movable kidney as observed in autopsies, it is well to remember a possible fallacy arising from the circumstance that the adipose tissue around the kidney becomes firm after death, so that, even in cases where the kidney was movable during life, it may become so fixed after death as to escape observation.
The frequency of movable kidney as observed during life gives a very different result from those just enumerated. It is variously stated by different writers, and seems to depend considerably upon the nature of the practice the observer is engaged in. Probably the two extremes are represented by Lindner on the one hand, who finds symptoms of movable kidney in every third or fourth woman he examines, and Senator on the other; he states the relative frequency as 1 case in 139 women patients. Kiister says, I possess now exact notes during my practice in Berlin, of which a consider able part were gynaecological cases and also surgical. These notes treat of nearly a period of three years, from the end of 1887 to the autumn of 1890, and describe the cases of persons 44 being movable kidney, giving 1 case of movable kidney in 39-40 patients. These persons were 828 males, among whom 4 cases of movable kidney were observed, and 905 females, with no fewer than 40 cases suffering from that complaint, being 1 movable kidney in 207 among the males and l for every 22 persons among the females.

Excerpt from The Glasgow Medical Journal, Vol. 62: July to December, 1904
Movable kidney or floating kidney is frequently met with in association with colitis and with uterine disorders. The symptoms are referred, in many instances, to the right or left iliac fossa, or to both. The gynaecologist connects the pain in this situation with disturbance Of function, or alteration of structure or relations Of the pelvic generative organs, and treats it either on palliative or radical lines.
The surgeon, on the other hand, ascribing the pain to displacement Of the kidney, fixes that organ, while the physi oian, viewing the cause from a wider standpoint, feels entitled to condemn the diagnosis and practice of both.
