Compensatory renal growth after unilateral ureteral obstruction.
Compensatory renal growth after unilateral ureteral obstruction. The accumulation of bulk renal protein, RNA and DNA was studied in mice during a 35-day period of accelerated renal growth in the kidney contralateral to that obstructed by acute ureteral ligation. Control mice were sham-operated and nonoperated. RNA was determined by the method of Monroe and Fleck, DNA after Ceriotti and protein ...
متن کاملCompensatory renal growth after unilateral nephrectomy in the ovine fetus.
Unilateral nephrectomy of the adult animal results in compensatory renal growth but does not involve formation of new nephrons. It is not clear whether compensatory growth can occur during the period of active nephrogenesis in utero and if so, whether more nephrons can be formed. Male ovine fetuses (n = 20) underwent unilateral nephrectomy (n = 10) or sham nephrectomy (n = 10) at 100 d of gesta...
متن کاملCompensatory glomerular growth after unilateral nephrectomy is VEGF dependent.
Various growth factors and cytokines have been implicated in different forms of kidney enlargement. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is essential for normal renal development and plays a role in diabetic glomerular enlargement. To explore a possible role for VEGF in compensatory renal changes after uninephrectomy, we examined the effect of a neutralizing VEGF-antibody (VEGF-Ab) on glom...
متن کاملTesticular torsion: orchiectomy or orchiopexy?
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact on testicular function of the surgical approach used to treat testicular torsion. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventeen males operated on for testicular torsion at a median age of 14 years were investigated. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone and inhibin B as well as testicular volume were measured early (median 36 days) and/or late (median 1.1 ye...
متن کاملMetachronous Testicular Cancer After Orchiectomy: A Rare Case
Testicular cancer represents approximately 1% of all cancers diagnosed in males. The prevalence of bilateral testicular germ cell tumor cases varies from 1% to 5%. Intratubular germ cell neoplasia (ITGCN) is a precursor for almost all testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) and is one of the highest risks of developing contralateral testicular cancer. The radical orchiectomy is still preferred for t...
