Materials and Methods: A total of 50 human adult cadaveric kidneys (25 right and 25 left) were studied. Morphometric features like length, breadth, width and weight were measured. Hilum and lobulation of kidneys were observed. Results: The weight of right kidneys varied from 57 to 190 gms with an average of 103.04 gms. The weight of left kidney ranged from 60 to 220 gms with an average of 114.48 gms. The length of right kidney varied between 8 and 14 cms with an average of 10.92 cms. The length of left kidney varied between 9.5 and 14.5 cms with an average of 11.32 cms. The breadth of the right kidney ranged between 5 and 8 cms with an average of 6.2 cms. The breadth of left kidneys was in the range of 5 to 9 cms with an average of 6.62 cms. The width of right kidney varied between 2 and 5 cms with an average of 3.34 cms. The width of left kidney varied between 2 and 5 cms with an average of 3.54 cms. Lobulation is present in 8% of right kidney and 16% of left kidney specimens. Variations in hilar structures were found in 8% of right kidney and 24% of left kidney specimens. Conclusion: Anatomical variations of kidney rely on morphological findings. Clinically, this could play an important role in improving the knowledge of anatomists, surgeons and radiologists.&#13;
