Abstract

Due of its non-invasive nature, ultrasound has quickly become an essential component of prenatal treatment. This study delves into the association between gestational age and the use of ultrasound measures to assess the length of the fetal kidneys during normal pregnancies. Women who participated in the research had normal pregnancies and had regular ultrasounds at certain points in the journey. Fetal kidney length is positively correlated with gestational age, and the size of the kidneys grows steadily larger as the pregnancy progresses, according to the results. This study confirms the reproducibility of ultrasound measurements for embryonic kidney size, since it demonstrated negligible interobserver variability. In order to detect anomalies or variations from predicted growth patterns, which might suggest underlying foetal developmental difficulties, it is crucial to know the typical range of foetal kidney length at different gestational ages. The results of this study will improve antenatal care procedures and help doctors make more accurate assessments of fetal kidney development using ultrasonography. Prenatal detection of renal abnormalities and prediction of neonatal outcomes may be possible with more investigation into the value of measuring the length of the fetal kidneys.
