TABLE 2.

Estimated hypertrophy and change in uEV excretion after rat nephrectomy

Uninephrectomy 5/6th nephrectomy
Kidney Kidney weight at uninephrectomy, grams 1.2 ± 0.0 1.2 ± 0.1
Terminal kidney weight, grams 1.7 ± 0.1 1.6 ± 0.2
Projected weight remaining kidney without hypertrophy, grams 1.2 1/3 × 1.2 = 0.4
Estimated degree of hypertrophy a 1.4‐fold 4‐fold
uEVs uEV excretion at baseline, 1012 uEVs/day 0.66 ± 0.13 0.81 ± 0.14
uEV excretion at sacrifice, 1012 uEVs/day 0.50 ± 0.15 0.56 ± 0.16
Projected uEV excretion without hypertrophy b 1/2 × 0.66 = 0.33 1/6 × 0.81 = 0.14
Estimated change in uEV excretion rate in remaining kidney tissue c 1.5‐fold 4‐fold
a

Calculated by (terminal kidney weight) / (projected weight remaining kidney).

b

Assuming both kidneys contribute equally and with limited extra‐renal contribution to uEVs.

c

Calculated by (uEV excretion at sacrifice) / (projected uEV excretion without hypertrophy).
