title: [Studies of the morphological and morphometrical changes in the rat nephron after unilateral ureteral ligation (author's transl)].
abstract: The influence of unilateral ureteral ligation in the rat nephron has been morphometrically analysed. The glomeruli show no significant differences compared with the control groups. The lumen of the tubulus rectus I increases significantly, but irregularly, after the 6th day of ureter ligation. The brush border is mostly destroyed after the 8th day. The tubulus rectus II changes only very little during this period. At the beginning of the ligation the lumen dilates, and at the end of the experiment the tubulus becomes normalised. The most important changes have been seen on the collecting tubules. As a consequence of increased intratubular pressure the lumina continuously dilate.
