Table 2.

A kidney length (pole to pole) in the coronal plane, sagittal and lateral diameter in the axial plane, and a kidney volume.

Median (25th, 75 percentile) for skewed data; Mean with standard deviation (± SD) for normally distributed data. The left (L) and the right (R) kidney is compared by using paired Student's t test (normally distributed data) and Wilcoxon rank-sum test (skewed data); Male (M) and female (F) groups are compared by using Mann-Whitney U test. The level of significance was set as p < 0.05.
