After a Radical Nephrectomy (RN) for a renal malignancy, the kidney on the opposing side may enlarge to replace the lost renal mass. The development of Renal Function (RF) will depend on the ability to compensate. Total Renal Volume (TRV) measures of the remaining kidney recorded before and after RN can be used to gauge the progression of the RF.
