“…A high correlation has also been demonstrated in children between ultrasonographic and urographic renal volumes (14). The ultrasonographic determination of renal volume has mostly been used on renal transplants in detecting rejection (2,17). Ultrasonographic technique for determination of renal function measured as renal volume has previously only been used in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus by CHRISTIANSEN et coIl.…”

A comparison of the relationship that might exist between ultrasonographically calculated renal parenchymal volume and renal parenchymal area assessed from urography and also between renal parenchymal volume and kidney function was conducted in a series of 26 children with recurrent urinary tract infection or asymptomatic bacteriuria. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was determined by the clearance of inulin, renal parenchymal area was measured from urography and renal parenchymal volume was calculated from sequential longitudinal scans of the kidney using an automated water-delay ultrasonographic equipment (Octoson). High correlation was found between 1) renal parenchymal volume and GFR, 2) renal parenchymal volume and renal parenchymal area and 3) renal parenchymal area and GFR. Octoson ultrasonographic determination of renal parenchymal volume is a reliable method to evaluate glomerular filtration rate and renal parenchymal area in children with recurrent urinary tract infections and asymptomatic bacteriuria.

“…Accurate measurements of length, width, and thickness are obtained so that planimetry and volume calculations are possible (35,(39)(40)(41). Normally the volume of the transplanted kidney increases moderately for the first six to nine months, then gradually decreases in size.…”

“…The smallest lymphocele aspirated was 1 2 5 cc and the largest was 900 cc in volume. TECHNIQUE The technique of examining renal transplants using pulsed ultrasound has been communicated in detail in previous reports (8)(9)(10). Several longitudinal and transverse sections are obtained along the true axis of the transplanted kidney at low and high sensitivity settings.…”
