Renal parenchymal volume in children. Normal values assessed by ultrasonography.

Forty-three children with normal urograms and with kidneys of normal size regarding length, area and parenchymal thickness were examined using a water-delay computerized ultrasonographic equipment. Renal parenchymal volumes were calculated and related to body weight. The correlation coefficient was 0.92. The renal parenchymal volume of the left kidney was significantly larger than that of the right kidney (p less than 0.001). For practical purposes they should, however, be assumed to be of equal size, 2.0 +/- 0.3 cm3/kg body weight.

Urographic renal size in acute pyelonephritis in childhood.

Eighteen children with acute pyelonephritis were investigated by urography at the time of and about two months after the acute infection. Renal size was evaluated as renal length and parenchymal area. During the acute infection renal size was larger than at the follow-up examination two months later. In conclusion, urography performed in close connection with the acute pyelonephritic infection gives an overestimation of renal size.
