Inoue et al reported equatins for estimating the depth of kidneys from the dorsal skin surface. The authors are from the University of Tokyo, National Children's Hospital Tokyo, University Hospital Mizonokuchi and Teikyo University.
Parameters:
(1) weight in kilograms
(2) height in cm
depth of the left kidney in cm =
= (16.778 * (weight) / (height)) + 0.752
depth of the right kidney in cm =
= (16.825 * (weight) / (height)) + 0.397
