The opposite kidney was studied 5-15 weeks after unilateral nephrectomy in groups of rats. The relative merits of weight, volume and diameter as parameters of renal hypertrophy were compared. Renal diameter was found to be a less sensitive index of renal hypertrophy than the other two parameters. Standard curves are presented which provide a suitable method for eliminating the influence of growth of the animal upon renal hypertrophy. This is particulary importan when animals of different weights are untilised.
