Morphometric study of Human Adult Cadaveric Kidneys

Reena Agarwal, E. Prabhakar Reddy.

Abstract :

The kidney is a vital organ of the mammalian body and becomes a foremost subject of medical research because many renal diseases in humans are incurable when the kidney is severely damaged. The main aim of the study was to perform morphometric analysis of right and left kidney specimens and compare findings with the previous reports. A total of 50 human adult cadaveric kidneys (25 right and 25 left) were studied. Morphometric features like length, eadth, width and weight were measured. Hilum and lobulation of kidneys were observed. Weight, dimensions, hilar structural variations and lobulations of left kidney were larger than the right kidney. Determination of renal anatomical variants should be greatly encouraged to strengthen the current literature and improve the knowledge needed for surgical and radiological intervention. Variations related to renal dimensions are anticipated to urinary tract diseases,congenital anomolies, neoplasia, micro and macrovascular diseases which were reported to significantly influence kidney sizes.
