The normal reference values and estimation formulae of renal structural parameters in Chinese children based on large-sample CT data.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Our aim was to investigate the normal reference value and to establish an estimation formulae for renal structural parameters (RSPs) based on large-sample CT data of Chinese children, which can provide a data reference for the clinical assessment of kidney development and diseases in Chinese children.

Materials and methods

A total of 438 children aged 0-17 years with normal renal CT images and basic indices were continuously collected. The bilateral RSP, including renal length (RL), renal width (RW), renal thickness (RT), renal volume (RV), renal cortical thickness (RCT), renal artery diameter (RAD) and renal CT value, were measured. Kendall's rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between RSP and sex. Pearson's correlation was used to analyze the corre
