Abstract
Morphometric studies have gained much research attention as they are believed to possess significant clinical importance. Condition like systemic diseases, urinary tract diseases, congenital anamolies, neoplasia, micro and macrovascular diseases were reported to significantly influence kidney sizes dimensions could possess significant clinical value. It is necessary to distinguish a pathological kidney from a normal sized healthy kidney. Structural arrangements or alterations at the hilum also possess medical significance, as per the available case reports. But studies related to morphometric determination of renal dimensions and hilum structures still appear limited and need to be strengthened with additional findings. Hence the present study was planned assess the morphometric evaluation and variation in renal hilar structure. The present study was planned in Department of Anatomy, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Nagunoor, Telangana from January 2007 to July 2008. The study was planned in 30 Cadaveric kidney obtained to institute. Total 30 kidney specimens were obtained out of which 15 are left kidneys and 15 are right kidney. Morphology of the kidneys was studied with the features like length, breadth, thickness, and weight. The arrangement of renal hilar structures was also observed. Approval of the institutional ethical committee was taken prior to conduct of this study. As morphological findings help to determine anatomical variations of kidney, such studies will help to strengthen the current literature. Renal dimensions and hilar structural arrangements could possess significant clinical value. Knowledge of this variation can be utilized in various fields of medical sciences i.e Anatomist, Radiologists and Surgeons for better clinical understanding and outcome.
