A multivariable assessment of renal size and growth of scarred kidneys in children.

Purpose: We applied a recently developed multivariable renal size nomogram to sonographic measurements of kidneys with known scarring to assess systematically their sizes and growth patterns compared to normal kidneys.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed renal sonograms of 138 kidneys (55 right and 83 left) with known scarring. The sizes of these scarred kidneys were compared to the 95% prediction limits calculated according to the multivariable renal size nomogram, adjusting for patient age, gender, race, weight and height.

Case report: lethal multiple pterygium syndrome.

We report a case of lethal multiple pterygium syndrome (LMPS). Intrauterine fetal demise was diagnosed at 31 weeks' estimated gestational age. Subsequent fetopsy established the diagnosis of LMPS.

The renal length nomogram: multivariable approach.

Purpose: We built a multivariate renal length nomogram based on ultrasound measurements in pediatric patients with normal renal anatomy.

Materials And Methods: Included in the study were 707 children 1 week to 18 years old without vesicoureteral reflux, urinary obstruction or other known anatomical anomalies. Renal length was compared among subgroups of children.
