STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ADAPTATION IN RENAL FAILURE
The seconf of two Lumleian Lectures delivered to the Royal College of Physicians of LondonBy Robert Platt, M.D., M.Sc.,F.R.C.P.,
“…the functional disturbances known to occur in human renal disease are precisely those which occur in animal experiment as a result of reduction in the amount of functioning renal substance - that is, loss of nephron”
