Table 1. Kidney volumes for healthy and UNX rats estimated by weighting, water displacement and manual segmentation of MR images.

group Kidney weight [g] Water displacement [ml] Cortical volume - MRI [ml] Total volume – MRI [ml] Mean tubular flow – MRI [ml/100 ml/min]
right left right left right left right left right left
SD 1.36 (±0.13) 1.42 (±0.12) 1.40 (±0.12) 1.41 (±0.11) 1.42 (±0.25) 1.50 (±0.26) 1.95 (±0.34) 2.17 (±0.34) 68 (±37) 61 (±35)
UNX 1.76 (±0.38) 1.74 (±0.33) 1.63 (±0.45) 2.40 (±0.43) 73 (±18)

Unilateral nephrectomy was performed on the left kidney. In case of the MRI, also cortical volumes were estimated for GFR calculations. Values are mean ± standard deviation.
