Li et al reported equations for estimating renal depth from the dorsal skin surface in Chinese adults.
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) height meters
(3) weight in kilograms
depth of the left kidney in cm =
= (16.772 * (weight) / (height)) + (0.01025 * (age)) + 0.224
depth of the right kidney in cm =
= (15.449 * (weight) / (height)) + (0.009637 * (age)) + 0.782
