| Abstract;We measured kidney length by ultrasound in 199 low birth weight infants (gestational age: 24-40 weeks, birth weight: 558-2,484g). The left kidney was significantly longer than the right kidney. There were no significant differences with sex. There was a positive correlation between kidney length and three parameters: gestational age, body weight, and body height, but kidney length correlated better with body weight than with gestational age or body height. In multivariate analysis, body weight correlated with kidney length as an independent factor. Therefore, the normal standards for kidney length versus body weight in low birth weight infants were presented. (author abst.) |
