[Large volume increase in a trastigian kidney].
With few exceptions renal volume is markedly reduced in patients with end-stage renal disease, a phenomenon which is almost always accompanied by a progressive loss of renal compliance secondary to renal structure fibrosis. We have observed a remarkable renal compliance during an episode of acute pyelonephritis in a patient on long-term dialysis.
