A, The relationship between birth weight and total glomerular number among all cases that includes infants, children, and adults. Number of glomeruli versus birth weight (●); number of glomeruli versus birth weight regression (____); 95% regression confidence interval (--); regression prediction interval (……). The regression coefficient predicts a gain of 257,426 glomeruli/kg increase in birth weight (r=0.423, P=0.0012, N=56). Reprinted from Hughson et al,86 Fig. 4 with permission from Elsevier.
