[Correlation between human kidney shape and kidney pelvis type]

On the basis of a sample consisting of 200 cadavers of both sexes in the age group from 0 to 65 years, a study was performed concerning kidney shape, type of kidney pelvis as well as attempts to correlate the relationship between the 2 kidney traits. In the first phase of analysis of experimental data, attention was paid to the appearance of sex-linked differences, as well as changes arising from the age, seen in the afore mentioned traits. In the second phase, exact statistical analysis was performed to show the relationship of kidney shape with renal pelvis type. The performed analyses indicates that the connection between kidney measurements and renal pelvis type is weak and statistically insignificant.
