Cardiac endothelin-1 plays a critical role in the functional deterioration of left ventricles during the transition from
compensatory hypertrophy to congestive heart failure in salt-sensitive hypertensive rats.
Confirmation of "simple" MCKD warrants a repeat renal ultrasound at 12 to 24 months to confirm
compensatory hypertrophy.
The diminished functioning renal mass due to URA may lead to
compensatory hypertrophy and hyper filtration nephropathy (1-3).
Over time, a single good kidney undergoes
compensatory hypertrophy.

Compensatory Hypertrophy and Salvageability Category No.
The right ventricle handles more blood when there is left side obstruction and
compensatory hypertrophy will take place and this will result in features of right ventricle hypertrophy in ECG.
Incidentally, computed tomography (CT) demonstrated the absence of the left thyroid lobe with a
compensatory hypertrophy of the right lobe as a prominent isthmus (figure 1).
