Objective:
To determine the accuracy of supine and prone approaches to sonographically measured kidney dimensions.
Methods:
The kidney dimensions of 109 participants were sonographically determined in supine and prone patient positions. The two measurements were compared with each other using the intra-class correlation, coefficient of variation for duplicate measurements and Bland-Altman plot. The two sets of measurements were each compared with measurements from computed tomography.
Results:
There was a very strong agreement between kidney dimensions in supine and prone positions. There was also an agreement between kidney dimensions in supine and prone positions and computed tomography measurements.
Conclusion:
The kidney dimensions obtained using patient-in-supine position and patient-in-prone position approaches may be equivalent and the two approaches may be used interchangeably.
