This study was proposed to measure the renal length and parenchymal thickness in Adult diabetic and
hypertensive patients with normal eGFR and serum creatinine using ultrasonography in order to detect
early reduction in renal length and parenchymal thickness in Sudanese population. Ultrasonographic
kidney measurements were performed on 66 adult patients with known diabetes and hypertension
with different duration of the disease. The impact of age, gender, site (left and right side) and height
was statistically analyzed. Patients with abnormal eGFR, serum creatinine or any renal disease were
excluded. This study was included 27 males and 39 females with age ranging from 26-75 years. The
study was divided into three groups; Group ''A'' includes 35 patients with diabetes and hypertension
(DM & HTN), group ''B'' includes 15 patients with diabetes only (DM) and .. View More»
