OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and distribution of renal arteries and their branches in vivo, correlating the particularities found in them with sex and laterality. METHODS Two hundred renal pedicles were studied by CT angiography and its arteries analyzed according to number, position of origin, size, length and trajectory in relation to renal segments. Its frequency and laterality ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations between laboratory findings and ultrasonographic measurements of renal length and cortical thickness in patients receiving follow-up for chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS A total of 41 CKD patients (18 males and 23 females; mean age, 65.2 years; range, 42 to 85 years) with a low glomerular filtration rate who did not require r...

SUMMARY Determination of gestational age have several usages in obstetrics and gynecology. The relation between fetal femur length and gestational age has determined in this research using real time sonography. 1000 iranian pregnant women between 12-40 weeks of gestation with accuratic last menstrual period and with out the history of diabetes lllellitus, hypertension, renal disease and fetal ...

Activation of telomerase, a key event during immortalization and malignant transformation, requires expression of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). Consistently, lack of telomerase activity and hTERT expression occurs in most normal human somatic cells. However, it has been observed that both normal and cancerous renal tissues express hTERT whereas only the latter exhibits telomeras...

BACKGROUND Obesity ignites numerous health and psychosocial problems and is associated with various comorbidities. Body mass index (BMI) is also independently associated with improved risk for numerous kidney disorders. As renal length is considered a vital parameter in the clinical assessment of renal patients, normal renal length has to be defined in accordance to BMI. OBJECTIVES The aim of...

background: diagnosis of kidney scar could prevent vesico urethral reflax and its complications such as hypertension and renal failure. this study was conducted to determine average kidney length and volume in infants by sonography to accurate diagnosis of scars. methods: this study was conducted on infants with the history of uti who referred to imam reza hospital, kermanshah iran, for dmsa sc...

Background Chronic kidney disease is a global health concern, its detection and diagnosis in earlier stages is also a great challenge that can alleviate this burden. Kidney biopsy is important to establish histopathological patterns. But, it is invasive. We aimedto evaluate the correlation of renal resistive index (RI) measured by Doppler ultrasound with the prog...

Renal length, height, width, resistive index (RI), size of cortex, and medulla were determined by renal ultrasonography in 50 healthy Korean domestic short-hair cats. In the sagittal plane, the renal length was 3.83 +/- 0.51 cm (mean +/- SD) in the left kidney and 3.96 +/- 0.48 cm in the right kidney, whereas the renal height was 2.42 plusmn; 0.27 cm in the left kidney and 2.36 plusmn; 0.28 cm ...
