This study of 100 healthy senior citizens (SC) screened out of 10,000, who attended the free medical camps. Renal morphological

parameters were assessed sonographically and correlated with age and weight of SC. The result showed significant changes after

the age of 70 years.

AIM: A retrospective study to evaluate the sonographic values of renal length, parenchymal and cortical thickness in healthy

senior citizens and to assess if renal size significantly decreases with age in healthy senior citizens free from life style diseases and

those affecting the renals.
