“…A standard protocol template of imaging the kidneys in supine position was employed across all the studies, thus limiting the potential of variability attributable to USG. However, despite the values across all sighted studies falling within the range of established by Purohit et al, in 2017, the marginal variation may be related to several factors. Renal morphology has been reported to be influenced by several factors such as age, ethnicity, gender, weight and height (Srivastava et al, 2016).…”

“…Renal assessment using USG remains a modality of choice due of its availability, non-use of ionizing radiation, non-invasiveness and its's accessibility makes it a stand-alone independent modality by most clinicians and clients (Maaji, et al, 2015). The literature states that normal renal length varies from 9-12cm across different populations (Purohit et al, 2017). The estimated mean renal length in the present study was found to be 9.28±0.94cm and 9.42±1.02cm for the right and left kidneys respectively.…”

In persons with normal renal function, renal length has been found to be the most important marker for assessing renal function. Ultrasound is readily available, non invasive and provides a direct and easy method of determining renal length. The aim of this study is to determine the range of normal renal measurements among the students of College of Health Sciences, BUK. Renal lengths of apparently healthy volunteered students were measured using Mindray DP 3.5MHz curvilinear transducer. Maximum bipolar length for each kidney was measured with participants in supine position. Differences between renal length with age and gender was assessed while its relationship with BMI were assessed statistically for right and left kidneys. A total of 201 consenting participants were recruited into the study. Average mean bipolar length among the student's was established to be 9.28±0.94cm and 9.42±1.02cm for the right and left kidneys respectively. Mean renal length in males was found to be 9.51 ± 1.11cm for the left and 9.47 ± 0.93cm for the right which are slightly higher than those of the females 9.29 ± 0.87cm for the left and 9.07 ± 0.91cm for the right. The left kidneys were longer than the right kidneys. The mean renal length di not correlate with age and BMI. Nomogram of renal dimension among students of BUK were established. This will form basis for renal diagnosis especially for health Institutions like the BUK health services.

“…16 A difference in length of 2 cm or more between the right and left kidneys may raise the possibility of unilateral kidney disease. 12 Many congenital and acquired diseases directly or indirectly affect renal dimensions in all age groups. 17 It was also reported that the changes in kidney length, width and volume could be associated with atherosclerotic kidney disease, arterial hypertension and renal vascular disease.…”

Introduction: Any variations in shape or size of either one or both kidneys may indicate sign of its pathology. The study was aimed to determine normal values for renal dimensions among Nepalese children. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of the renal dimensions among 211 children. The length, breadth and thickness of kidneys were measured by computerised in built calliper in centimetre by using ultrasound and volume of the kidney was calculated. Results: The mean values of length, breadth, thickness and volume were 7.05 ± 1.80 cm, 2.95 ± 0.48 cm, 1.35 ± 0.15 cm and 15.09 ± 5.91 cc for right kidneys respectively; and 7.36 ± 1.89 cm, 2.98 ± 1.89 cm, 1.35 ± 0.18 cm and 15.98 ± 6.44 cc for left kidneys respectively. The mean values for length, breadth, thickness and volume of right kidney was 7.57 ± 1.99 cm, 3.11 ± 0.46 cm, 1.38 ± 0.14 cm and 17.38 ± 6.20 cc among boys respectively; and 6.50 ± 1.39 cm, 2.78 ± 0.44 cm, 1.31 ± 0.17 cm and 12.69 ± 4.43 cc among girls respectively. Similarly, these values for length, breadth, thickness and volume of left kidneys were 7.91 ± 2.04 cm, 3.13 ± 0.49 cm, 1.39 ± 0.18 cm and 18.46 ± 6.89 cc among boys respectively; and 6.78 ± 1.52 cm, 2.83 ± 0.45 cm, 1.31 ± 0.17 cm and 13.38 ± 4.73 cc among girls respectively. Conclusions: It was concluded that mean values for renal length and volume was found to be higher on left side than right side in all age groups. These values for renal breadth and thickness were observed almost same on both sides in all age groups. All measurements of renal dimensions were found significantly higher among boys than girls on both sides. This study has provided the reference values for renal sizes among Nepalese children.

The problem of asymmetry is one of the fundamental in modern biology, theoretical and clinical medicine, it has deep evolutionary roots. Analysis of literature suggests that the coverage of various aspects of morpho-functional asymmetry of the kidneys to this time is not always unambiguous, and sometimes controversial. The purpose of the work is to establish manifestations of asymmetry of entering into regression models of sonographic sizes of kidneys anthropometric and somatotypological parameters of a body in practically healthy women and men of different somatotypes. Within the framework of the agreement on scientific cooperation from the database of the research center of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya taken the primary sonographic parameters, anthropometric and somatotypological indicators of 121 practically healthy women and 97 practically healthy men of the first mature age (correspondingly, of the age from 21 to 35 and from 22 to 35 years old) who in the third generation live on the territory of Podillia region of Ukraine. For the construction of regression models of individual sonographic sizes of the kidneys, depending on the peculiarities of anthropo-somatotypological parameters of the body, the license package “Statistica 6.1” was used. To analyze the asymmetry of entering into regression models of sonographic sizes of anthropo-somatotypological indicators, all constructed reliable models, but not only models with a determination coefficient of greater than 0.6, were taken into account. Also, in the analysis, anthropometric and somatotypological indicators refer either to highly genetically determined (longitudinal body sizes, cephalometric indexes, width of distal epiphyses of long tubular limb bones, trunk diameters, pelvic sizes, ectomorphic component of somatotype, bone component of body weight) or to low genetically determined (mass, body surface area, body dimensions thickness of skin fat folds, endomorphic and mesomorphic components of the somatotype, muscle and fat components of the body mass). In men of various somatotypes, when analyzing the asymmetry of entering the models of sonographic sizes of the anthropometric and somatotypological indicators of kidneys, it has been established: in the mesomorphic somatotype representatives - 84.1% (among which 50.0% belong to highly genetically determined indices), in the representatives of the ecto-mesomorphic somatotype - 86.0% (among which 46.5% belong to highly genetically determined indicators), in the representatives of the endo-mesomorphic somatotype - 88.1% (among which 51.4% belong to a highly genetically determined indices). In women of various somatotypes, when analyzing the asymmetry of entering the models of sonographic sizes of the anthropometric and somatotypological indicators of kidneys, it was established:), in the representatives of the mesomorphic somatotype - 82.0% (among which 51.2% belong to highly genetically determined indices), in the representatives of the ectomorphic somatotype – 89.0% (among which 58.0% belong to highly genetically determined indicators), in the representatives of the endo-mesomorphic somatotype - 83.3% (among which 50.0% belong to highly genetically determined indicators), in the representatives of middle intermediate somatotype - 82.5% (among which 56.5% belong to highly genetically determined indicators).
