In a series of fetal and infantile human kidneys, variation in shape of the kidneys was evaluated nephrometrically. Width-length, thickness-length and thickness-width indices were calculated and compared with data from the literature by age groups of children and adults. The dependence of renal shape variation on the stage of ontogenetic development were noted.
