Preliminary step towards renal nomogram in Malaysian adult population

Renal ultrasonography is a relatively inexpensive, fast, non-invasive and radiation-free imaging modality to diagnose a range of kidney diseases. Variation in kidney sizes can be associated with different kidney diseases. Commonly, measurements of renal size of any age are compared with the measurem...
