aMareschal et al. (15). bLee et al. (7). cTanvetthayanont et al. (14). dMean renal length/Ao ratio derived from combined measurements of LKs and RKs. Ao, aortic diameter; LK, left kidney; RCT, renal cortical thickness; RCT/Ao ratio, renal cortical thickness-to-aortic diameter ratio; RK, right kidney.
