Age- and Sex-Specific Reference Values for Renal Volume and Association with Risk Factors for Chronic Kidney Disease in a General Population-An MRI-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Renal volume (RV) is associated with renal function and with a variety of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs). We analysed RV using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a large population-based study (Study of Health in Pomerania; SHIP-TREND) to find sex- and age-specific reference values for RV and to test the influence of several markers on RV. The main objective is to describe reference values for RV in people from the general population without kidney disease.

Methods

1815 participants without kidney disease (930 women) aged 21-81 years were included in our study. Right and left RV with and without body surface area (BSA) indexation were compared among three age groups (22-39 years, 40-59 years, 60-81 years) by median and interquartile range and tested separate
