Morphometric parameters of renal calyces of children of the age of the first childhood

Abstract

In this study, the anatomy features of kidney and pyelocalyceal complex of children in the age of the first childhood were studied. A total of 23 isolated organs of this age group without congenital anomalies or pathology of the uronephrologic profile were studied . To the age group of the first childhood period, according to the classification according to LK Semenova, children aged 4 to 7 years were included; in the study group, the mean age was 5.3±0.5 years, and the age interval was 4.5-6.5 years. The upper renal calyx is the largest anatomical formation in the structure of pyelocalyceal complex in children of 4-7 years and is supplemented with one more - the lower one. Medium-strength direct correlation between the total volume of the pyelocalyceal complex and the volume of the posterior lower renal calyx is established.
