Kidney size may help date pregnancies more accurately
NCT ID NCT07188324
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring the length of a fetus's kidney can help estimate how far along a pregnancy is. Researchers measured kidney length in 100 healthy pregnant women between 24 and 40 weeks and compared it to standard measurements like head size and belly size. The goal was to see if kidney length is a reliable way to determine gestational age, which is important for timing certain tests and treatments.
