A compensatory hypertrophy is a increase of size of a organ or tissue, which is made so it can do additional work or perform the work of the destroyed tissue or an organ. This is similar to the regeneration of body parts. For example, if the tail of a lizard breaks apart from its body a new one will take its place and this is called regeneration. In both the process of compensatory hypertrophy and regeneration a organism tries for the growth of a body part such as a organ or tail. A organ that is capable of compensatory hypertrophy in a human includes the kidney.

Kidney.
