Renal and intrarenal hemodynamics in compensatory hypertrophy
Investigative Urology
|January 1, 1981
Abstract:
We studied renal and intrarenal hemodynamics in 40 dogs 7 hr; 1, 2, and 3 weeks; and 4 and 6 months after contralateral complete ureteral occlusion. Changes in the perfusion of the compensatory hypertrophied kidney could not be detected using the xenon-133 washout technique. We concluded that increased renal perfusion plays no role in the development of compensatory hypertrophy.
