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 کاملHistological, Histochemical and Morphometric Changes of the Contralateral Adrenal Gland after Unilateral Adrenalectomy
Three weeks after unilateral adrenalectomy , the adrenocortical thickness was increased, the lipid content of the cortical zones was markedly decreased, the alkaline phosphatase reaction of the outer part of the zona fasciulata was decreased, the acid phosphatase activity showed an increased reaction in zona glomerulosa and outer part of the zona fasciculata and the succinic dehydrogenase activ...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Adrenalectomy for Unsuspected Unilateral Primary Adrenal Lymphoma
BACKGROUND Rarely, a patient presents to a surgeon for evaluation of an adrenal incidentaloma where the final pathology is primary malignancy. For primary adrenal lymphoma, fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the literature. CASE REPORT We report a case of unilateral primary adrenal aggressive B cell lymphoma discovered incidentally in a 41-year-old female. Preoperative testing demons...
