Summary

Experiments were performed on rats. A detailed morphological analysis was carried out of changes which take place in residual part of the kidney at various periods following operation of ablation of one kidney and partial resection of the other.

The changes involve the whole parenchyma of the kidney and consist in increase of the size of the structural elements of the kidney (tubules and Malpighian bodies) caused mostly by cellular hyperplasia with their partial hypertrophy. Besides, the intercellular spaces are enlarged, particularly the tubular lumen and the cavity of Malpighian bodies.
