Abstract

Background: Development of human kidney runs through a series of continual and mutually dependentchanges during which kidney obtains its morphological and functional maturity. The evaluation of fetalmorphometrical growth parameters have been subject of increased awareness for theassessment of fetal growth and development and prenatal diagnosis of renal anomalies,geneticcounseling andtreatment of prenatal renal disorders like Wilm’stumor, multicystic renal dysplasia, hydronephrosis. Materials and Methods: This work was conducted in different medical institutions in south India. A total of 50 dead fetuses of both sexes in which 20 female and 30 male collected from places with relevant clinical history were utilized for the present study. Results: The collected fetal kidneys were observed for their weight, height, thickness and width. The results were analyzed according to gestational age and recorded in separate classified tables. Conclusion: The knowledge about fetal kidney morphometry according to their gestational age may be helpful in understanding different congenital and malformations of kidney.
