| Abstract | Renal diseases are among the most common diseases in cats. Understanding the size of the kidney is important in evaluating kidney disease. Researches have shown that measurements of kidney length are possible using ultrasonography with high repeatability. The objective of this study was to measure kidney to abdominal aorta ratio using ultrasonography to determine kidney size in healthy domestic shorthair cats. The study population included 35 domestic cats referred to a private animal hospital in Tehran for a yearly checkup. Healthy cats based on biochemical factors were selected regardless of age and sex and were positioned on the back. Ultrasonography was conducted using a linear or sector transducer through skin contact and ultrasound gel. Quantitative data from the study were analyzed using SPSS? version 21 software by paired t-test. The correlation coefficient was analyzed based on a significance level 0.05. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the average length of the right kidney and the left one. The ratio of the right kidney's length to aorta was 9.12, and it was 8.88 for the left kidney. In addition, the ratios of right and left kidneys' width to the aorta were 5.25 and 5.24, respectively. The result found that the ratio of the length of the kidneys (both left and right) to the average diameter of the aorta in the cats was 7.12-11.35, and this ratio was about 4.25-7.05 for the width of the kidneys to the diameter of the aorta. It was necessary to compare the size of the kidney with a different structure separate from the spinal cord. Therefore, the ratio of kidney size to the diameter of the abdominal aorta was used in this study. |
