Abstract

Due to a possible failure to identify supernumerary renal arteries, there is a need to find the so-called "indirect parameters" which could indicate the occurrence of supernumerary renal arteries. We wanted to make our contribution in detecting secondary indicators j useful for identification of supernumerary renal arteries. Our study j involved morphometric measurements of the kidney length and width, j renal arteries and supernumerary renal arteries. The obtained data [ was analyzed by means of the correlation test in order to establish\their mutual correlation and the extent to which it may contribute to\proper identification of supernumerary renal arteries. Morphometric\measurements have shown that parameters such as kidney length, and\length and width of the renal arteries can serve as an indirect indicator : of the presence or absence of supernumerary renal arteries.
