“…In Cases 7 and 9 to 11 an initial period with decreasing parenchymal area was followed by compensatory growth. In 5 additional patients available data permitted assessment of postoperative renal size only during the second or third year of observation (Cases [12][13][14][15][16]. In Cases 12 and 13 the renoprival growth followed the initial canal for three years, then slowly showed a tendency towards hypertrophy.…”

The renal growth pattern following uninephrectomy for Wilms' tumour was analysed in 18 boys and 18 girls by means of a comparison between renal parenchymal and body surface area. No straightforward correlation was noted between age at nephrectomy, chemo- and radiation therapy applied, and subsequent renoprival dimensions. Five years on average after operation, a mean renal size corresponding to approximately 125 per cent of the normal for one of two healthy kidneys was recorded. However, wide variations in size were observed, but only 10 patients had a compensatory growth of the remaining kidney equivalent to that seen in patients nephrectomized for unilateral, non-malignant renal disease.

Compensatory renal growth: Interactions of nephrectomy serum and urine antisera leading to a new theory of renal growth regulation

1987

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Compensatory renal growth is mediated by a substance(s) found in the serum and in urine called renotropin. The interaction of nephrectomy serum and urine antisera upon compensatory renal growth was investigated by administering rat uninephrectomy serum and sham serum and urine to rabbits. The rabbit antisera was given intravenously to uninephrectomy and sham operated rats and kidney weight/body weight ratios were calculated. Antisera against sham serum and urine induced kidney growth as well as antisera against uninephrectomy serum and urine given to sham animals. These results suggest the presence of a circulating antigenic inhibitor to kidney growth and suggest that renotropin is made up of a inhibitory as well as a stimulatory substance.
