  2. Glomerular filtration rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerular_filtration_rate

    The normal range of GFR, adjusted for body surface area, is 100–130 average 125 mL/min/1.73m 2 in men and 90–120 ml/min/1.73m 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.

    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.

  4. Chronic kidney disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease

    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.

  5. Kidney failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_failure

    [1] [10] In Canada, the lifetime risk of kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) was estimated to be 2.66% for men and 1.76% for women. [11] Acute failure is often reversible while chronic failure often is not. [6] With appropriate treatment many with chronic disease can continue working. [2]

  6. Nephrotic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephrotic_syndrome

    There are also differences in epidemiology between the sexes, the disease is more common in men than in women by a ratio of 2 to 1. [ 62 ] The epidemiological data also reveals information regarding the most common way that symptoms develop in people with nephrotic syndrome: [ 62 ] spontaneous remission occurs in up to 20% or 30% of cases ...

    Out of the 1,374,392 female deaths reported in the US in 2017, kidney disease was listed as the cause of death for 24,889 women and was reported as the 9th overall cause of death for women in 2017. [45] Out of the 1,439,111 male deaths reported in the US in 2017, kidney disease was not listed in the top 10 causes of death. [45]

  8. Body surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_surface_area

    In the following formulae, BSA is expressed in m 2, weight (or, more properly, mass) W in kg, and height H in cm. The most widely used is the Du Bois formula, [ 4 ] [ 5 ] which has been shown to be equally as effective in estimating body fat in obese and non-obese patients, something the Body mass index fails to do.

    A Danish study measured the median renal length to be 11.2 cm (4 + 7 ⁄ 16 in) on the left side and 10.9 cm (4 + 5 ⁄ 16 in) on the right side in adults. Median renal volumes were 146 cm 3 (8 + 15 ⁄ 16 cu in) on the left and 134 cm 3 (8 + 3 ⁄ 16 cu in) on the right. [17]
