EVALUATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ULTRASONOGRAPHIC KIDNEY DIMENSIONS AND MODIFIED BODY MASS INDEX IN CLINICALLY HEALTHY NIGERIAN INDIGENOUS DOGS
ABSTRACTS Ultrasonography was used to determine the correlation between the kidney dimensions in 115 clinically healthy Nigerian Indigenous Dogs (NID) with anthropometric indices such as Modified Body Mass Index (mBMI) and sex. In-vivo ultrasonographic kidney dimensions were obtained by measuring the kidneys’ length, width and height to compute the kidney volume using prolate ellipsoid formula (L x W x H x 0.523) while anthropometric dimensions were measures of body ...
