Length, parenchymal area planimetrically determined and volume of the kidney were estimated at urography and related to glomerular filtration rate in patients with different nephropathies. The results demonstrate that the size of the kidney is an excellent index of renal function in patients with pyelonephritic scarring secondary to urinary tract infection and vesicoureteral reflux. It is also a good index in patients with obstructive hydronephrosis but a poor index in patients with glomerulonephritis.
在静脉肾盂造影时对肾脏的长度、通过面积测量法测定的实质面积以及体积进行了评估，并将其与不同肾病患者的肾小球滤过率相关联。结果表明，对于继发于尿路感染和膀胱输尿管反流的肾盂肾炎瘢痕形成患者，肾脏大小是肾功能的一个极佳指标。对于梗阻性肾积水患者，它也是一个良好指标，但对于肾小球肾炎患者则是一个较差的指标。
