Abstract
Background
Accurate assessment of renal volume is crucial for diagnosing nephropathies and evaluating living kidney donors. However, related studies have generally relied on linear models or focused on population-level associations, without providing clinically usable reference standards. This study aimed to develop a physiology-informed and clinically applicable reference system for renal volume through use of advanced nonlinear modeling.
