Synopsis
Compensatory hypertrophy of the remaining kidney is observed in mice after nephrectomy using structural MRI. By fitting the two-compartment filtration model to dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI data we examined the effects of nephrectomy on the passage of blood through the remaining kidney over time. Total kidney plasma volume (vp) increases at 1 week post-nephrectomy, along with T1. This is followed by a decrease at week 4, which is coupled to a decrease in total and per unit volume plasma flow and an increase in plasma mean transit time.
