The length of the adult kidney is normally 10–12 cm, and the right kidney is often slightly longer than the left kidney. The adult kidney size is variable due to the correlation with body height and age; however, normograms for pediatric kidney size are available. [1]
The normal range of GFR, adjusted for body surface area, is 100–130 average 125 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) in men and 90–120 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) in women younger than the age of 40. In children, GFR measured by inulin clearance is 110 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) until 2 years of age in both sexes, and then it progressively decreases. After age 40, GFR ...

Life expectancy for U.S.-born children is now 77.5 years, up from 76.5 in 2021 and 77 in 2020. Deaths caused by drug overdoses and COVID-19 infections were key contributors to the decline, the CDC ...
Life expectancy is 5–10 years for those on dialysis; some live up to 30 years. Dialysis can occur via the blood (through a catheter or arteriovenous fistula ), or through the peritoneum ( peritoneal dialysis ) Dialysis is typically administered three times a week for several hours at free-standing dialysis centers, allowing recipients to lead ...
The Standardized Kt/V is based on body water volume (V). The Glomerular filtration rate, an estimate of normal kidney function, is usually normalized to body surface area (S). S and V differ markedly between small vs. large people and between men and women.
After a kidney disease battle that included weight loss, a new kidney and a whole lot of self-reflection, Atkinson hopes to raise awareness about the kidney disease signs and lifestyle risk ...
The echogenicity of the kidney should be related to the echogenicity of the liver or the spleen. Moreover, decreased kidney size and cortical thinning are often seen especially when the disease progresses. However, kidney size correlates to height, and short persons tend to have small kidneys; thus, kidney size as the only parameter is unreliable.
