Length, width, thickness, and cortical size of the kidneys were also measured.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>There was a positive correlation of renal dimension with age, weight, height, BMI, and BSA. There also was a positive correlation of eGFR with other renal parameters.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Renal dimension and eGFR were correlate with age, weight, height, BMI, and BSA in children.</p> ER -
