METHODS Male albino Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250-400 grams were anesthetized
with 50 mg/kg. pentobarbital intraperitoneally and the left kidney removed through a flank
incision. At intervals from 24 hours to 3 weeks, glomerular filtration rate, urine volume, and
plasma and urine sodium were measured as described below, and compared to values
obtained in intact control animals of the same age and weight. The kidneys
