Congenital solitary kidney size at birth could predict reduced eGFR levels later in life

Objectives To evaluate the impact of congenital solitary functioning kidney (CSFK) length, measured early in life, on the eGFR levels during the follow-up. Study design We retrospectively selected 162 CSFK patients undergoing, within 60 days of life, renal length (RL) measurement by ultrasound. We d...
