title: [Pathophysiologico-clinical aspects of so-called compensatory hypertrophy of the kidney].
abstract: In a survey is reported on the present level of knowledge of the nephronal functional and structural adaptation in the so-called compensatory hypertrophy of the kidney. The pathogenic character of the glomerular hyperfiltration standing hereby in the centre (phenomenon of progression of chronic nephropathies) and of the final control elements influencing the residual nephrons (trade-off phenomena in chronic nephropathies) is made evident. Issuing from this the unmasking of the situations of latent glomerular hyperfiltration (GFR reserver diagnostics) is postulated as an actual task.
