ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To estimate the kidney volume of the healthy Turkish population using ultrasound and to evaluate the relationship between kidney volume and body indexes. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Kidney ultrasound evaluation was performed on 152 patients (mean age 42 ± 13.7 years). Kidney length, width and thickness were measured using ultrasound. Mean total and parenchymal volume were also calculated. Patients' age, sex, weight, height and body mass index (BMI) (kg/m²) were recorded.RESULTS:
According to ultrasound, kidney lengths were 10.3 ± 7.8 cm for the right and 10.4 ± 9 cm for the left. Volumes were 158 ± 39 cm3 for the right and 168 ± 40 cm3 for the left. Volumes in women were 151.8 ± 39 cm3 for the right and 159.8 ± 37 cm3 for the left, and 164.3 ± 38 cm3 for the right and 175.8 ± 41 cm3 for the left in men. Kidney measurements correlated with body height and weight. A strong correlation with total kidney volume and kidney measurements was determined for body weight for both kidneys (p<0.001). A significant correlation with kidney volume and width was determined for both kidneys (p<0.001). A positive correlation was also found between parenchymal and total kidney volume for both kidneys (p<0.001).CONCLUSION:
The most significant factors associated with kidney volume for both kidneys in the Turkish population are kidney width and body weight. Measuring kidney volume with ultrasound is a feasible modality and is widely available for daily clinical practice.
