BUN to creatinine ratios and activity of creatine kinase (upper panel), as well as creatinine and BUN concentrations (lower panel) from surgery at approximately six weeks of age through release 11 weeks after surgery. Samples were collected at surgery, and at weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11. Pre-surgery values were averaged from available samples collected approximately four weeks before surgery. Data points are averages from available samples, and vertical lines connect highest and lowest sample at each week. Reference values for female harbor seal pups under three months of age (whisker boxes on left side of each panel, from n = 42 animals), and over three months of age (whisker boxes on right side of each panel, from n = 21 animals) were calculated from available data as described under methods
