| dc.description.abstract | A radiographic method of assessing renal size in
adults is presented by an analysis of 230 patients
with normal renal function as judged by Intravenous
Urogram and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN). The long
axes of the kidneys are correlated with the height of
the lumbar spine from. the superior margin of the first
lumbar vertebral body to the lower margin of the body
of the third lumber including the intervening
intervertebral spaces. The findings are analysed
statistically and discussed. This height of the
lumbar spine column is shown to be a good parameter to
relate to renal length in adults. A normal renal
length is greater than the height of the lumbar spine
by up to a maximum of 35 mm. and almost always, never
less than the lumbar spine segment. | en |
