Abstract
Low birth weight (LBW; < 2500 g) infants have smaller kidneys, and therefore a reduced number of glomeruli and nephrons. Renal ultrasound remains the primary technique for assessing renal growth. We carried out a study to see if a new measurement, renal parenchymal thickness, can be used to detect any differences in renal growth between LBW and normal birth weight (NBW; 2500-4500 g) infants.
