Description
Summary:In 195 with no manifest urinary tract disease, of me one to seven years of age,the ultrasound was used to determine the renal parenchvma (thickness at the genderinter-gender levels); their correlation with age the kidney dimensions was examined.The dynamic ratio between the parenchyma dimensions and those of the kidney wasanalyzed. The real-time mechanical sector scanner (ALOKA SSD 500) was used with convex probes of 3,5 and 5 MHz in the supine position and in the counter-lateralbody decubitus. The parenchyma dimensions kept on increasing continuously duringthe analyzed period, most intensely in the second and fifth years of age. Theparenchyma enlargement was in a better con-elation with the kidney growth than withthe childrens age. Still, there is an evident slight enlargement of the parenchymadimensions than that of the kidney dimensions.
