What is Weight and Measurements of Kidneys in Northwest Indian Adults about?

## Abstract Weights and measurements of paired kidneys obtained from medicolegal autopsies of northwest Indian adults, 155 males and 84 females, were compared. The right and left kidneys weighed 108.7 ± 22.6 g and 111.8 ± 23.3 g (__P__ > 0.05), respectively, in males. Corresponding weights in females were 96.6 ± 19.3 g and 99.4 ± 25.3 g (__P__ > 0.05) for the right and left kidneys, respectively. Sex differences in the weights of both right and left kidneys were statistically significant (__P__ < 0.001). Other measurements of the right kidney in males were as follows: length, 99.5 ± 9.4 mm; width at the middle of the hilum, 45.8 ± 6.2 mm; and the thickness 33.3 ± 5.2 mm, which did not differ from corresponding measurements of the left kidney (99.7 ± 10.9 mm, 46.4 ± 7.1 mm, and 34.0 ± 6.4 mm, respectively). Other measurements of the right kidney in females were as follows: length, 91.3 ± 8.7 mm; width at the middle of the hilum, 44.6 ± 4.6 mm; and thickness 31.2 ± 4.7 mm, which did not differ from those of the left kidney (92.1 ± 11.0 mm, 43.5 ± 6.5 mm, and 31.1 ± 6.1 mm, respectively). Sex differences in measurements of both right and left kidneys were significant except for the wi
