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 ...

Figure 1. Normal adult kidney. Measurement of kidney length on the US image is illustrated by ‘+’ and a dashed line. *Column of Bertin; ** pyramid; *** cortex; **** sinus. [1] The length of the adult kidney is normally 10–12 cm, and the right kidney is often slightly longer than the left kidney.
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 ...
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 ...
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.
The term "non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease" (NDD-CKD) is a designation used to encompass the status of those persons with an established CKD who do not yet require the life-supporting treatments for kidney failure known as kidney replacement therapy (RRT, including maintenance dialysis or kidney transplantation).
The number of renal lobes is reduced, and the kidney size is less than two standard deviations from the average, with the weight often being over 50g in adults and 12–25g in children. This type of hypoplasia can be either unilateral or bilateral and is more prevalent in females by 72%.
