summary

On the ground of measurements of 60 urograms of patients with double kid­ney the breadith-length, kidney-spine, and length-lenght indices were calculalted. The analysed material comprised 72 kidneys with double calycopelvic systems and 48 normal kidneys in cases of unilateral anomaly. The statistical analysis demon-atrated a signifiicant similarity of the kidney-spine and length-length indices of double kidneys and normal kidneys.
