Resumen

The study reports an improvement of the ellipse-based formula to better estimate renal dimensions and transform the management of kidney disease. More accurate determination of renal dimensions can inform progression of renal disease including scarring and polycystic kidney disease, can better match a kidney donor with a prospective recipient and guide excision of renal tumors.
