  • Title: Normal standards for kidney length in premature infants: determination with US. Work in progress.
    Author: Schlesinger AE, Hedlund GL, Pierson WP, Null DM.
    Journal: Radiology; 1987 Jul; 164(1):127-9. PubMed ID: 3295985.
    Abstract:
    In 52 healthy premature infants, 104 kidneys were sonographically examined and kidney length was measured. Kidney length was compared with four parameters: body weight, body length, body surface area, and gestational age. Scatter plots of these data demonstrated that kidney length versus body weight conformed well to a linear distribution with a high correlation coefficient. A nomogram for kidney length versus body weight in premature infants is also presented.
