OBJECTIVE: To determine the mean and normal range of anteroposterior diameter (APD) of the renal pelves in children.
METHODS: Patients aged 0-19 years with normal spinal MRIs were identified after institutional review board approval. Those with dilating uropathy or abdominal surgery/radiation were excluded. The maximum APD was measured. A mixed linear model was fit to determine the relationship between APD and age, adjusted for bladder distention. The left and right kidneys were treated independently.
RESULTS: 283 left and 285 right renal units were included. For the left, a 3.5% increase in APD per year was predicted (p < 0.0001), with the average APD for infants and 18-year olds with non-distended bladders being 2.5 mm (95th percentile: 7.2 mm) and 4.6 mm (13.4 mm), respectively. For the right, a 3.9% increase in APD per year was predicted (p < 0.0001), with the average APD for infants and 18-year olds with non-distended bladders being 2.8 mm (8.4 mm) and 5.5 mm (16.6 mm), respectively. Compared with a non-distended bladder, a distended bladder increased the predicted APD between 23% (right) and 38% (left) (p = 0.01 and p < 0.0001, respectively).
CONCLUSION: The mean and normal ranges of APD measured by MRI in children are provided. APD increases with age and bladder distension and is greater on the left. Advances in knowledge: This article establishes normative ranges for APD, a critical component of genitourinary tract evaluation, and does so using the most precise imaging modality for this condition.
