    Summary

    This study calculated kidney volumes in 128 adults using abdominal CT scans. Results show no significant association between kidney volume and human somatic types.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Radiology
    • Anthropometry

    Context:

    • Kidney volume is a key indicator of renal health.
    • Previous research has explored correlations between organ size and body morphology.
    • Accurate kidney volume measurement is crucial for diagnosing and managing renal conditions.

    Purpose:

    • To calculate kidney volumes in a cohort of adult patients using computed tomography (CT) scans.
    • To investigate potential associations between calculated kidney volumes and different human somatic types (Mega, Medium, Micro).

    Summary:

    • Abdominal CT scans of 128 patients (45 women, 83 men) aged over 25 without renal disease history were analyzed.
    • Kidney volumes were calculated using CT scan measurements, yielding average volumes for right and left kidneys in men and women.
    • Statistical analysis (test for monotonic trend) revealed no significant relationship between kidney volume and the three defined somatic types.

    Impact:

    • Provides normative kidney volume data for adult men and women based on CT imaging.
    • Challenges the hypothesis of a direct correlation between kidney size and somatotype.
    • Highlights the need for further research into factors influencing kidney volume variations.
