Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1. The fetuses were carefully dissected with the aid of a stereoscopic lens with 16/25X magnification and the kidneys were removed together with the ureters, bladder and genital organs before the measurements of renal volumes.
Figure 2
Figure 2. Correlation of the renal parenchymal volume (RPcV) for normal and anencephalic fetuses with fetal age, crown-rump length (CRL) and weight during the fetal period studied. The points plotted represent the mean values obtained for each week studied. A) AGE (WPC). Linear regression indicated that RPcV is correlated significantly and positively with fetal age (normal fetuses: r2 = 0.48, and anencephalic fetuses: r2 =0.64, p <0.0001). B) Fetal weight (g). Linear regression indicated that RPcV is correlated significantly and positively with fetal weight (normal fetuses: r2 = 0.65, and anencephalic fetuses: r2 = 0.71, p <0.0001). C) Crown-rump length (cm). Linear regression indicated that RPcV is correlated significantly and positively with fetal crown-rump length (normal fetuses: r2 = 0.48, and anencephalic fetuses: r2 = 0.64, p <0.0001).
