Exorenal circulation can be visualized in the normal pediatric kidney by the use of PD sonography. Caliber and number of vessels are greater during the neonatal period and decrease in older children. Our results also suggest that hypoperfused conditions, such as extensive APN, may cause variations of this vascularity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
