Beyond Kidney Volume: 3D Mapping of Parenchymal, Cortical and Medullary Thickness with Disease, Anthropometry and Kidney Adiposity

Preprint C Not peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This preprint used scans from 70,270 people to map the inside of their kidneys. It found that the thickness of kidney tissue is linked to disease and body fat. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause.
