Abstract

Introduction: Kidney is an important retroperitoneal organ with excretory and endocrine functions. The length of kidney is affected in variety of clinical disorders with age. Aims: The aim of the study was to determine the renal length with respect to individual’s sex and age. Methods: This study was conducted on 369 patients referred to department of Radiology for abdominal ultrasonographic examination where renal length was measured and recorded. Results: The mean right kidney length was found to be 9.3403 cm and the left mean kidney length was found to be 9.3490 cm. In comparison among male and female, males were found to have a greater mean kidney length. The maximum mean right kidney length was found in 50-59 years age groups while left kidney length was found maximum in 30-39 years age group. Conclusion: We performed ultrasonographic assessment of renal length with respect to age and sex in Nepalese population. We found that the kidney length of both left and right kidneys was related to age and sex.
超声评价肾长度与年龄、性别的关系:一项医院研究
肾脏是腹膜后重要的器官,具有排泄和内分泌功能。肾的长度在各种临床疾病中随年龄而变化。目的:本研究的目的是确定肾脏长度与个体性别和年龄的关系。方法:对就诊于放射科腹部超声检查的369例患者进行肾脏长度测量和记录。结果右肾平均长度为9.3403 cm,左肾平均长度为9.3490 cm。在男性和女性的比较中,男性的平均肾脏长度更大。平均右肾长度在50 ~ 59岁年龄组最大,左肾长度在30 ~ 39岁年龄组最大。结论:我们对尼泊尔人群的肾长度与年龄和性别进行了超声评估。我们发现左肾和右肾的长度与年龄和性别有关。
