| description | Background/Objective: Renal cortical thickness and renal length are important indices for
many renal diseases. Ultrasonography has been introduced as an effective method to determine
different renal measurements. The objective of this study is to determine the sonographic
measurement of renal cortical thickness (RCT) and renal length in adults with normal renal
function in karimnagar population.
Patients and Methods: 148 healthy subjects aged 18-70 years with no history of renal diseases
were studied prospectively. These patients had normal Creatinine values. They also had a
normal kidney sonography. Gray scale sonography was used to measure the distance between
the outer border of the medulla and the renal capsule, presenting as Renal cortical thickness and
bipolar length was measured from upper pole to lower pole in sagittal plane.
Results: 52 men and 96 women with a mean±SD age of 38.6±15.27 years underwent
sonography. The mean±S Drenal cortical thickness of our population was 9.16±2.04 mm.The
mean±SDrenal cortical thickness was 9.81±1.95 mm for right kidney, 10.15±2.13mm for left
kidney. The mean±SD length of our population was 94.93±9.02 mm.The mean±SD renal length
was 94.56±8.67mm for right kidney ,100.04±9.37mm for left kidney .
Conclusions: Renal cortical thickness and length varies with many variables including gender,
height and decreases in chronic kidney diseases. The results of this study can be used for
evaluation of renal cortical thickness and renal lengthto determine abnormal clinical conditions |
