| Popis: | Kidney ultrasonography is frequently performed in children; to date there are no specific guidelines regarding hydration before the examination. Because certain renal measurements can be indicative of pathology, we used sequential US images to investigate the effect of standardised hydration in children relative to renal size, echogenicity and pelvic expansion. Thirty-one children (7 years to 14 years old) underwent US examinations before hydration (T0) and at 30 min (T30) and 60 min (T60) after ingesting water. We measured bladder volume, inter-polar kidney size, renal volume and anterior-posterior diameter of the pelvis. Cortical echogenicity was compared to that of the liver and spleen. On the right side the increase in average inter-polar renal size was 2.5% at T30 and 2.6% at T60 (P |
