introduction: renal length measurement is an important diagnostic clue in several urinary tract abnormalities. although ultra sonography is the most frequent used modality for renal size estimation, renal diameter assessment by 99mtc-dmsa scintigraphy is of great value. by now, pointing to the renal size in the 99mtc-dmsa scintigraphy report has not been recommended by guidelines. if the validi...

Background Ultrasonography is a non-invasive and accurate diagnostic method to evaluate urinary system and its anomalies in the neonates. Kidney sonographic measurement can be used as an alternative method to estimate gestational age. The aim of this study was to measure kidney size in preterm neonates and to provide a guide reference for gestational age. <...

introduction: correct interpretation of kidney images requires the knowledge of its normal size. this study aimed to establish normal values for kidney length and parenchymal thickness and identify the potential related factors in a group of iranian adults. methods: renal dimensions, including length and parenchymal thickness were measured by sonography in 103 individuals with no renal disease....

conclusions dyslipidemia is a common finding after kidney transplantation and has no correlation with csa level. according to conflicting data on the precise effect of different factors in inducing dyslipidemia, prospective large sample size studies should consider better control of dyslipidemia. results mean age of 1391studied population was 38.7 ± 15 years old. hypercholesterolemia and hypert...

Renal size is an important parameter in the assessment of a child with renal disease. The kidney continues to grow in size after birth and reaches the near adult size of 10 cm by 12 years of age [1]. Decrease or increase in kidney size is an important sign of renal disease. Thus while evaluating a child presenting for the first time with a sudden deterioration of renal functions; it is the kidn...
