Abstract
Kidney donors and patients nephrectomized for other reasons who have normal function of their remaining kidney have been found to suffer arterial hypertension and proteinuria more frequently than the normal persons [1, 2]. These abnormalities are probably caused by the functional and structural alterations that follow the ablation of kidney tissue. Hyperperfusion and hyperfiltration, which may lead to glomerular sclerosis (see Chapter 4) and even focal glomerulosclerosis, were found in 4 out of 24 patients nephrectomized for benign renal disease [3].
