Remnant model of renal failure in the dog: avoidance of second surgery by chemical nephrectomy.
Experimental chronic renal failure in the dog is usually studied by a two-step surgical procedure. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult, due to animal welfare concerns, to get permission for such procedures in Canada. We describe a method for obviating the need for second surgery by injecting absolute alcohol into a renal artery, which leads to immediate functional nephrectomy.
