They noted changes in the glomeruli, tubules, small arteries and arterioles. The arterial lesions were similar to those noted in human arteriosclerosis. In the physiologic and pathologic changes that are seen after subtotal nephrectomy an excellent opportunity is offered for studying the influence of various combinations of foodstuffs and metabolites on the damaged kidney.
