Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Aim: The morphometric study of human cadaveric kidney specimens was done and the findings were compared with the previous studies. Materials and Methods: Eighty human adult cadaveric kidneys (40 right and 40 left) were included in this study. Morphology of the kidneys was studied with the features like length, breadth, thickness, and weight. The arrangements of renal hilar structures were also observed. Results: The length varied from 7.7 to 14 cm with an average of 11.5 cm for right kidney and for left kidney, the length ranged from 8 to 14.5 cm with an average of 12.71cm.The breadth varied from 3 to 8 cm with an average of 5.325 cm for right kidney and for left kidney, the breadth ranged from 3.5 to 8 cm with an average of 6.07 cm. The thickness varied from 2 to 4.8 cm with an average of 3.32 cm for right kidney and for left kidney, the thickness ranged from 2 to 5 cm with an average of 3.64 cm. The weight ranged from 59.2 to 197.1 gms with an average of 102.48 gms for right kidney and for left kidney, the weight ranged from 60 to 200 gms with an average of 122.15 gms. Variations in renal hilar structures were found in 17.5 % of right kidney and 37.5 % of left kidney specimens. Conclusion: As morphological findings help to determine anatomical variations of kidney, such studies will help to strengthen the current literature. This also can help to improve the knowledge of the anatomist, radiologist and surgeons.
