Case Discussion
The best predictor of renal length in children is height, regardless of sex 1. Median and lower and upper limits of normal kidney length in millimeters in children can be calculated using the following formulas 1:
2.5th percentile: 0.4 × height [cm] + 20.4
50th percentile: 0.5 x height [cm] + 28.2
97.5th percentile: 0.5 × height [cm] + 34.8
