THE EFFECT OF UNILATERAL NEPHRECTOMY ON THE SENILE ATROPHY OF THE KIDNEY IN THE WHITE RAT.
1. In senility in the white rat there is a decrease in the total number of glomerular units. 2, The decrease in glomerular units is associated with an increase in the average diameter and a greater variation in size, of the remaining glomeruli. 3. Unilateral nephrectomy during adult life has no effect on these senile changes.
