Moderately Decreased Dietary Salt Intake Suppresses the Progression of Renal Insufficiency in Rats with 5/6 Nephrectomy

Figure 2

The influence of salt intake on the increase of renal parenchyma wet weight in rats after 5/6 nephrectomy. The weight of the remnant parenchyma at 5/6 nephrectomy was calculated from the weights of removed right kidney and the upper and lower poles of the left kidney under an assumption that both kidneys had equal weights.
