Effect of sludge ice cooling on renal function and renal histology in the dog.
The effect of sludge ice surface cooling on the compensatory hypertrophied dog kidney was investigated. Renal function was measured prior to and on days 1, 3 and 7 after the cooling procedure by means of inulin clearance, PAH clearance and sodium excretion capacity during normal hydration and after volume expansion. No alteration in renal function was shown. No freezing lesions or thromboses were seen on histological examination.
