Abstract
This study provides an estimates of the sonographical measurments of normal neonatal kidney. In this population-based cross-sectional study, the study consisted of a representative sample of (9) males and (11) females aged (0-28) days have been investigated using a sonographical machine to measure the length , width, cortical thickness and medullary thickness of the kidney. The mean length , width, cortical thickness and medullary thickness of the right kidney in males were (41.60±1.47)mm ,(19.40±0.42)mm ,(3.10±0.28)mm and (4.47±0.26) respectively. The mean length , width, cortical thickness and medullary thickness of the left kidney in males were (43.10±1.45)mm ,(18.98±0.55)mm ,(3.47±0.26)mm and (4.67±0.28) respectively. The mean length , width, cortical thickness and medullary thickness of the right kidney in females were (41.72±1.18)mm ,(19.45±0.43)mm ,(3.12±0.27)mm and (4.57±0.27) respectively. The mean length , width, cortical thickness and medullary thickness of the left kidney in females were (43.17±1.45)mm ,(19.07±0.55)mm ,(3.45±0.28)mm and (4.78±0.29) respectively. Also the study revealed that the cortex was hyperechogenic and the mdullary pyramids were hypoechogenic. The left kidney in neonates is longer than the right one. The right kidney in neonates is wider than the left one.
