The =symptoms= of a floating kidney are many and variable. The kidney may be slightly movable or it may be so loose that one can easily grasp it through the walls of the abdomen. Most of the symptoms are of a nervous reflex nature. Indigestion, which is likely to be very persistent, flatulency, heart palpitation, painful menstruation, irritable bladder, etc., are the most common symptoms. Still, blueness, depression and morbidness are frequently present. The most distressing direct disturbance is the feeling of weight in the abdomen, especially on standing, running or lifting. Sometimes the ureter becomes twisted and severe pain, colic and even collapse occurs. (Dietl’s crisis.) The =diagnosis= of a dislocated kidney is not a particularly difficult matter. A little experience coupled with a delicate sense of touch will usually readily detect abnormal mobility of the kidney. A point to always remember is that the kidney normally descends about one-half an inch with each inspiration. Care should be taken not to mistake a floating kidney for a movable spleen, although this is not likely, as the shape of the spleen is different. The =treatment= of a movable kidney under osteopathic measures is usually successful. In the first place a number of cases require but little attention, simply toning up the general health, and especially directing attention to the abdominal walls and organs. There are a number of cases where the kidney prolapse is incidental to general abdominal laxness and weakness. In more severe cases, treating the spine, raising the floating ribs, carefully manipulating over the abdomen, keeping the bowels open, and lessening liver congestion should it arise, will suffice; in fact, will remedy a good percentage of the cases. With others, a well fitting, medium width, elastic bandage with pad underneath will be beneficial. In these cases the patient should be taught how to treat the abdominal organs, to manipulate the abdominal walls, and to replace the prolapsed kidney; particularly after going to bed this can be done successfully by the patient and will prove a decided help in obstinate cases. =Surgical measures= for fixing the kidney should seldom be resorted to. If the patient will live a careful life, avoid unduly straining himself, keep the bowels normal, and have the anatomical lesions corrected, he will come very near being entirely relieved, if not absolutely. Surgical measures are not always a success. Surgeons are not operating for this disorder so often as in past years. (See Movable Kidney—Diseases of the Kidney.) Liver Prolapse This is commonly termed a =floating liver=. There is prolapse of the organ as well as its being abnormally movable. It is not of frequent occurrence; women suffer from it much oftener than men.
