The Brenner Hypothesis proposes that individuals born with a
reduced number of nephrons compensate by increasing filtration in each
remaining nephron. Epidemiological data have been used to test predictions
derived from this hypothesis in human populations.

Which observation would provide the strongest
direct evidence supporting the Brenner Hypothesis?
