POSTNATAL DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES 1011been reported as ~0.95 on Day 1 to 0.3 on Day 12 and throughout adulthood (13). In the case ofthe neonatal dog the developmental change in intra renal blood flow distribution correlates withthe period of nephrogenesis. An illustration of the timing of maturation of the inner cortical andouter cortical blood flow in dogs is presented below.130110IC/OC Flow Ratio90705030102 6 10 14 18 22 26 30 34 38Age (days)From: Kleinman, 1982. (13)Glomerular filtration rate increases with age postnatally in dogs. Based on clearance studiesusing small to large molecules, an increase in glomerular capillary surface area and pore densityoccurs between postnatal weeks 1 and 6 in dogs (28).Rats — Glomerular filtration rate sharply increases in rats during the first six weeks of postnatallife (29). A comparison of early postnatal glomerular filtration rates in rats and dogs is presentedbelow.Glomerular Filtration Rate(ml.min −1 /g Kidney)0.90.60.31 2 3Postnatal Age (months)Glomerular filtration rate in rat () and canine () kidney during postnatal maturation.
