Five months following unilateral nephrectomy, the parietal epithelia in the remaining kidneys of Sprague-Dawley rats were examined by light and electron microscopy. Compared with controls, the kidneys from uninephrectomized rats exhibited a dramatic increase in mass characteristic of compensatory hypertrophy. Approximately 20% of the renal corpuscles in the hypertrophied kidneys had parietal epithelia lined by tall cells which possessed a brush border and other morphological characteristics of proximal tubule cells. In some instances proximal tubulelike cells made up over half of the cells lining the parietal epithelium. The possible significance of this finding is discussed.
在单侧肾切除术后五个月，通过光学显微镜和电子显微镜对斯普拉格-道利大鼠剩余肾脏的壁层上皮进行了检查。与对照组相比，单侧肾切除大鼠的肾脏表现出代偿性肥大特征的质量显著增加。肥大肾脏中约20%的肾小体的壁层上皮由高细胞排列，这些细胞具有刷状缘和近端小管细胞的其他形态特征。在某些情况下，近端小管样细胞占壁层上皮内衬细胞的一半以上。讨论了这一发现的可能意义。
