Abstract
A method for assessment of kidney size in pediatric practice is presented. Length of the kidney is correlated to length of the lumbar segment L1 to L3 including the intervertebral spaces comprised by these vertebrae. The result may either be expressed in standard deviations or as a kidney ratio. The method makes comparison with films from previous examinations or other hospitals feasible without access to any other data than those available in the film. The method also serves the purpose of properly assessing the growth of the kidneys.Keywords
