Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: : The study was conducted in Khartoum state on diabetic patients utilizing Computed Tomography. The aim was to assess CT numbers for both kidneys and analyze their correlation with age. A total of 522 participants were examined (138 from the control group and 384 from the diabetic group). The results indicated that the average age of the case group was 58.5, with the mean measurements for the right and left kidneys of the case group being (Rt K Cortical CT NO, Rt K Medulla CT NO, Lt K Cortical CT NO, Lt K Medulla CT NO), with means of (36.53), (25.33), (4.91), (36.5), and (25.19), respectively. There were no statistically significant correlations between kidney measurements and the age of the case group (p-values: .214, .620, .865, .806); however, Rt K Medulla CT NO decreased with increasing age. Pv (.028). The diabetes did not influence the cortex and medulla CT number pv (0.852, 0.582, 0.872, 0.615).
