[Quantitative assessment of the viability of renal tissue when the donor's body is treated differently].

It was shown that the vital capacity of the mouse kidney tissues quantitatively estimated by the in vitro growth in a plasma-free medium depended upon the condition of the donor organism. Depression of the culture growth was noted after the general X-irradiation of the animals, as well as following prolonged starvation and chloric cadmium poisoning. An increased growth of the kidney tissues was observed both in compensatory hypertrophy caused by unilateral nephrectomy and in subcutaneous inflammation.
