Assessment of renal parenchymal thickness in normal children

I Claësson et al. Acta Radiol Diagn (Stockh). 1981.

Abstract

The normal range of variation of the parenchymal thickness in well defined parts of the kidney was determined in children (0 to 15 years). The values were correlated with the distance between the superior surface of L1 and the inferior surface of L3. The ratio between the parenchymal thickness on the right side and the left side was also determined. The results are compiled in two nomograms.
