THE EFFECT OF UNILATERAL NEPHRECTOMY ON THE SENILE ATROPHY OF THE KIDNEY IN THE WHITE RAT
1Institute of Pathology, Western Reserve University, Cleveland, and the Department of Zoology, Yale University, New Haven.
Abstract:
1. In senility in the white rat there is a decrease in the total number of glomerular units. 2, The decrease in glomerular units is associated with an increase in the average diameter and a greater variation in size, of the remaining glomeruli. 3. Unilateral nephrectomy during adult life has no effect on these senile changes.
