Unilateral nephrectomy performed during the first days or weeks of life may or may not induce the development of new nephrons in the remaining kidney. Such an increase has been reported to occur, as discussed in this review, in newborn rats and mice, but not in guinea pigs. These observations are consistent with other data suggesting different patterns of compensatory adaptation in young and in old animals.
在出生后的头几天或几周内进行单侧肾切除术,可能会也可能不会促使剩余肾脏中形成新的肾单位。如本综述中所讨论的,据报道这种增加在新生大鼠和小鼠中会发生,但在豚鼠中不会。这些观察结果与其他数据一致,这些数据表明幼年和老年动物的代偿性适应模式不同。
