Five kidneys were excluded from the evaluation of kidneys (presented in Table 1) after complications. Histologic parameters selected included glomerulosclerosis, decreased number of glomeruli, tubular atrophy, corticomedullary fibrosis, mononuclear cells, and vascular sclerosis. Seven-step scale with 0.5-step increments from 0 to 3 was used to grade histology. For comparison, these values were added to generate THS. Animal 8: sepsis, spontaneous tracer transit change, no histologic data available; animal 17: urinary leak; animal 18: no histologic data available; animals 19 and 20: died before final renogram (animal 19: ligature inflammation, animal 20: sepsis).
