Renal function in 29 healthy adults before and after nephrectomy
AG Krohn, DA Ogden, JH Holmes - Jama, 1966 - jamanetwork.com
Twenty-nine healthy subjects, who served as renaltransplant donors, were studied to
determine the effect of nephrectomy on blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine level,
and renal clearance in the early postoperative period (1 to 18 days). A mean increase in
BUN and creatinine of 26% and 33%, respectively, occurred. Clearance levels of
endogenous creatinine and of paraaminohippurate were 70.5% and 70.2%, respectively, of
the preoperative mean, indicating a rapid 40% increase in the function of the remaining …
