Abstract
Measurements of renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were performed in anesthetized dogs to determine if removal of 1 kidney induced early functional adaptation in the remaining kidney. Increases in RBF (10%) and GFR (20%) were observed within the 1st min after exclusion of contralateral kidney; these were the earliest events so far described. A functional adjustment may contribute to development of compensatory renal hypertrophy.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
