Ultrasonographic Measurement of Dimensions of Adult Human Kidney in Odisha And Its Variations
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
The present piece of work was studied in the population of Odisha to determine the ultrasonographic kidney dimensions in subjects without known renal disease. We studied weather age, sex, side, body mass index(BMI) and presence or absence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and chronic kidney disease affect the renal size. Material and Methods : 295 individuals were included in the study. After exclusion of diseased, 289 subjects were finally selected for this study.All ultrasounds were performed by an experienced facultyto exclude inter- observer variation. The effect of gender, age, side, height, weight, BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease was statistically analyzed.Results :The mean renal length of right side (9.64 cm) was significantly smaller than that of left side (9.97 cm).The mean renal length, breadth and cortical thickness of right side was greater in male and no significant difference was found in mean left renal length with gender.The mean renal dimensions of subjects decreased after the age of 61 years. The mean renal length of both sides were directly proportional with body mass index, weight and height.In multivariate analysis, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease shows significant correlation with mean renal dimensions. Conclusion :The length and volume of kidneys are considered as very important parameters for clinical assessment and follow up. Ultrasonography is a noninvasive procedure and there is no risk of radiation hazards. So there is definite advantage of this procedure in clinical field.
