“…This finding is in agreement with other workers [11,13] Hormonal Changes. Some evidence has been pre sented to suggest that a serum factor, renotropin can stim ulate damaged refluxing units to grow [15,16] faster than normal after removing the injuring stimulus.…”

“…Factors affecting renal growth noted that the kidney grew once treatment was started whether medical or surgical [10]. The severity of reflux is important and resumption of normal growth has been observed in patients with gross reflux following successful anti-reflux surgery [11], The duration of reflux is relevant due to the intermittent nature of the obstruction and evidence is accumulating [12] that the radiological changes of atrophic pyelonephritis are seen after 20 years of sterile reflux.…”

“…23 It may also be used in follow-up for the progression of a disease process affecting the kidneys; therefore, accurate renal length measurements are important. [6][7][8][9] In our study, we found an approximately 7% increase in renal length measurements after oral fluid intake. Based on our results, one may estimate that renal length measurements are prone to variability depending on the fluid intake of the patient.…”

“…1-5 Renal length and cortical thickness are routine measurements in the diagnosis and follow-up of most disease conditions involving the kidneys. [6][7][8][9] In most institutions, sonographic evaluation of the genitourinary tract includes examination of the kidneys, ureter (if possible), and urinary bladder. Therefore, measurements regarding the kidneys, such as renal length, can be performed in a hydrated or nonhydrated state.…”

“…A number of authors have described retardation or complete cessation of growth of kidneys in children with UT1 and VUR [64,65]. Winberget al [66] have provided the most quantitative data available in a study of 22 neo nates without obstruction who developed symptomatic UTI within the first month of life, and were followed with sequential radiographs for an average of 4 years.…”
