BACKGROUND: The use of ultrasound-based measurements to determine renal size has proven valuable in the diagnosis of renal function and associated disorders. The dimensions of the abdominal organs are affected by an individual's body age, height, sex, and weight. The objective of this study was to establish the standard sonographic parameters for renal dimensions and to determine the correlation between body measurements and renal dimensions in a population of healthy adults residing in Jazan City, Saudi Arabia. METHODS: The present study was a prospective study conducted at a single center located in Jazan City from February to August 2022. Ninety-five participants underwent abdominal ultrasonography. The process of measuring renal size through sonography entails the measurement of various dimensions of the kidney, such as renal length, width, and thickness. The demographic information of the participants, including their sex, age, height, and weight, was documented. All analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences v27 software. RESULTS: The dimensions of the right kidney, specifically the length, width, and thickness, had mean value of 9.79 centimeters (cm), 5.09 cm, and 4.10 cm, respectively. The left kidney had mean dimensions of 10.1 cm, 5.09 cm, and 4.10 cm for length, width, and thickness, respectively. The left kidney was larger than the right kidney. Furthermore, male participants exhibited larger kidney measurements than their female counterparts did. A noteworthy positive correlation was observed between the thickness of the left kidney and sex, whereas no significant correlations were found with age, weight, or height. CONCLUSION: The current study revealed that the kidney dimensions were observed to be larger in males as compared to females. The research findings indicate that there is no significant correlation between kidney dimensions and various demographic factors, such as age, height, weight, and sex. In addition, this study provides reference tables for further use.
背景:基于超声的测量方法在诊断肾功能和相关疾病方面具有重要价值,它可以用来确定肾脏的大小。腹部器官的尺寸受个体的年龄、身高、性别和体重等因素的影响。本研究旨在建立肾脏尺寸的标准超声参数,并确定沙特阿拉伯吉赞市健康成年人的身体测量值与肾脏尺寸之间的相关性。
方法:这是一项在 2022 年 2 月至 8 月期间于沙特阿拉伯吉赞市的单一中心进行的前瞻性研究。95 名参与者接受了腹部超声检查。通过超声测量肾脏大小的过程包括测量肾脏的多个尺寸,如肾长、宽和厚。记录了参与者的人口统计学信息,包括性别、年龄、身高和体重。所有分析均使用社会科学统计软件包 v27 进行。
结果:右肾的尺寸,即长度、宽度和厚度,平均值分别为 9.79 厘米、5.09 厘米和 4.10 厘米。左肾的长度、宽度和厚度的平均值分别为 10.1 厘米、5.09 厘米和 4.10 厘米。左肾大于右肾。此外,男性参与者的肾脏测量值大于女性参与者。还观察到左肾厚度与性别之间存在显著正相关,而与年龄、体重或身高之间无显著相关性。
结论:本研究表明,男性的肾脏尺寸大于女性。研究结果表明,肾脏尺寸与年龄、身高、体重和性别等各种人口统计学因素之间无显著相关性。此外,本研究还提供了进一步使用的参考表。
