Abstract: Kidneys are also called as renes or nephros from which we have the derivative renal or nephron are retroperitoneal by position. Study of normal anatomy with the aid of ultrasonography is reliable & cost effective. Methods: 67 adult normal subjects ranging from 18-70 years were examined and parameters of kidney noted photographed and analysed statistically.
Key words: kidney, length, width, renal size,renal volume,cortical thickness.
