Sonographic measurement of the renal size in a normal adult population in Erbil, Kurdistan Region- Iraq
Keywords:
renal size, sonographic measurement, adult population, erbil, kurdistan regionAbstract
Background: Renal parameters have an important role in the anatomical, pathological and clinical fields and many factors can have a role in determining the renal parameters hence, making normal renal parameter references are essential. Objectives: To find out the renal size and volume of a sample of Kurdish people and to assess their association with age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) to make a reference for measurement of renal size in Kurdish population. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 350 subjects who were selected through a purposive sampling method in Erbil city from April 2021 to April 2022. Almost all of the candidates were received in a private clinic. The sample was composed of 161(46%) males and 189(54%) females between the ages of 18-72years normal adults. Sonographic Renal parameters were estimated and BMI index was calculated. Significant differences were found among renal size and volume and sex, age, and BMI. Results: Significant factors associated with renal size and volumes were age, sex, and BMI. Apart from no significant differences in the means of the renal lengths between males and females, other renal parameters are larger in the left kidney and among males.
