The Impact of Diabetes Mellitus on the Renal Parenchyma Measurements: ACT Based Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: In order to establish some preliminary data of our population, we determined the Computerized Tomography (CT) for evaluation the kidney dimensions in individuals with known Diabetic Nephropathy. We evaluated whether the diabetes can affect the renal measurements. Methods: In Multidetector Computerized Tomography thin-slice (MDCTs) scans of 300 kidneys in 150 Sudanese patients (50 Diabetes subjects and 100 as control) the study was performed. The kidney length, width, medulla and cortical width, medulla and cortical CT Hounsfield (HU), and the renal parenchymal thickness on CT scans were measured through upper calyx; renal pelvis; and lower calyx levels and were registered in (mm) for both kidneys. The measurements were done for both control and diabetes groups. The possible influencing diabetic effects that can be visualized were recorded from a measurement data set. For measurements, axes were adjusted individually in axial and coronal planes. Results: Kidneys were found to be significantly changed for some parameters in diabetic patients when compared to the normal control group. A positive linear relationship was found between the right and left kidney width and the duration of diabetes. Conclusions: The possible mechanisms for the kidney measurements changes were highlighted for Sudanese population.
