TH Hostetter - Annual review of physiology, 1995 - annualreviews.org
Growth of residual renal tissue in response to loss of other renal tissue is usually termed
compensatory hypertrophy. This process occurs not only when unilateral nephrectomy is
performed with the contralateral organ increasing its mass but also when undamaged
nephrons within a kidney undergo enlargement as other nephron units in that same kidney
are destroyed either by natural disease or experimentally (34, 41, 49, 51). Allhough
