Hilum and lobulation of kidneys were observed. The weight of right kidneys varied from 57 to 135 gms with an average of 86.88gms. The weight of left kidney ranged from 54 to 138 gms with an average of 96.32gms. The length of right kidney varied between 6.4 and 10.3 cms with an average of 8.02cms. The length of left kidney varied between 6.9 and 10.7 cms with an average of 8.56cms. The breadth of the right kidney ranged between 3.7 and 7.5 cms with an average of 4.56cms. The breadth of left kidneys was in the range of 3.4 to 5.6 cms with an average of 4.52cms. The width of right kidney varied between 1.9 and 3.2 cms with an average of 2.51cms. The width of left kidney varied between 1.7 and 3.1 cms with an average of 2.54 cms. Anatomical variations of kidney rely on morphological findings and Clinically, this could play an important role in improving the knowledge of anatomists, surgeons and radiologists.&#13;
