The rate of growth of the kidneys was analysed by examining 390 anatomical specimens that had been taken from premature babies or stillbirths at term, or had been carefully selected. The gestational ages ranged from 26 to 41 weeks of amenorrhoea. Statistical analysis of the results has led to the ability to establish significant correlations between the length of the fetus and its weight and relationship to the growth in weight, and throughout the three dimensions of fetal kidneys. Some measurements have been made on 8 fetuses between 14 and 24 weeks. The comparison of the numerical figures that have been obtained with the histological appearances has made it possible to work out the steps of the development of the kidney in utero. This organ, even in the case of a small-for-dates fetus, is good evidence of the gestational age of the fetus. By collecting all these observations together they could contribute to a better appreciation of the growth of the kidney viewed by ultrasound and to quantifying better the pathological abnormalities that can occur during its development.
通过检查390份解剖标本分析肾脏的生长速率，这些标本取自早产儿、足月死产儿或经过精心挑选的样本。妊娠龄范围为闭经26至41周。对结果的统计分析使得能够确定胎儿长度与其体重之间以及与体重增长之间的显著相关性，以及胎儿肾脏三维结构之间的关系。对14至24周的8例胎儿进行了一些测量。将所获得的数值与组织学表现进行比较，使得能够确定子宫内肾脏发育的步骤。即使是小于胎龄儿的情况，这个器官也是胎儿妊娠龄的良好证据。通过将所有这些观察结果汇总在一起，它们有助于更好地理解超声观察到的肾脏生长情况，并更好地量化其发育过程中可能出现的病理异常。
