In an attempt to making norms of renal volume (RV) in Indian children, 240 children (137 boys and 103 girls) below 5 years of age were subjected to sonographic examination in supine position. Left RV in female children increased from 18.04 mm3 in early infancy to 48.36 mm3 in 4–5 year age group. Similar increase was observed in the right RV. There was no significant left vs. right difference in RV in boys and girls (p>0.05). Similarly, the RV did not differ significantly in both sexes (p>0.05, in all age groups except 4–5 years, p=0.04).
