patients with essential hypertension and correlate it with age, sex, body
mass index, body surface area and duration of hypertension. A total of
75 patients (33 males, 42 females) with essential hypertension were
evaluated sonographically in this prospective study and 25 healthy
individuals (12 males, 13 females) without hypertension were also
evaluated as control groups. Renal volume was then calculated from
the kidneys length, width and anterio-posterior diameter using
formula (LxWxAPx0.53) .The range of renal volume 46.65 to
105.02 cm3 for the left kidney and 42.59 to 102.33 cm3 for the right
kidney. In control group, (mean ± SD) volumes of the right and left
kidneys in males (80.7 cm3 ± 36 and 75.3 ±33respectively), in females
(78.2 cm3 ± 33 and 70.4, ± 29 respectively). The (mean ± SD) kidney
length was (9.35 ±1.3cm). It was (9.15 ±1.1cm) on the right side and
(9.27 ±1.3 cm) on the left side. The hypertensive kidneys volume slightly in lower limit in relation to control group. The (mean ± SD)
kidney width was (4.45 ±1.1cm) and the cortical thickness 1.46 ±0.5
cm, consider with in normal range.
Renal volume correlated significantly with BMI in
hypertensive patients (r = 0.35 and 0.31 p<0.005 for right and left
kidney, respectively), There was no significant correlation between
renal volume and duration of hypertension (r = 0.9 and 0.8; p >0.005
for left and right kidneys, respectively). | | Keywords : | | | renal function, hypertensive patients, renal
