Low agreement between kidney volume and kidney length z-scores

Laura Torres-Canchala et al.

Summary: This study found that reporting only kidney length results in a significant overestimation of age-independent Z-scores. Based on the findings, it may be more appropriate to consider measuring all kidney dimensions.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate and cardiometabolic risk factors in a longitudinal cohort of children

Silvia Xargay-Torrent et al.

Summary: The study investigates the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and cardiometabolic risk factors in apparently healthy children. Results show that eGFR is associated with obesity, blood pressure, insulin resistance, and kidney size, indicating its potential role in profiling cardiometabolic risk in children.
