Background. Further study of anatomy, topographic and morphometric characteristics of the kidneys and their blood vessels is relevant for clinical practice. As a rule, these data are taken into account in modern diagnostic studies, in kidney angioplasty, organ transplantation and correction of congenital anomalies. Aim. To determine morphometric characteristics of human renal hilum. Material and Methods. There were investigated 42 left and 42 right kidneys of adult male and female. The cause of these people death were not urinary system diseases. The gate of the kidney was measured by a caliper. Results and Discussion. The length of men’s right and left renal hilums varied from 2.5 to 5.0 cm. The average length of left renal hila was 3.54 cm, right - 3.31. The length of left women renal hila was from 3.2 to 5.1 cm (M=3.89 cm), right hila - from 2.6 to 5.0 cm (M=3.43 cm). The widths of men’s left renal hila varied from 1.5 to 2.5 cm (M=2.09 cm), right renal hilum - from 1.5 to 3.2 cm (M=1.98 cm). In women width of left renal hila was from 1.9 to 2.6 cm (M=2.49 cm), right - from 1.5 to 3.0 cm (M=2.0 cm). Conclusions. According to the research data lengths and widths of female renal hila are more variable than male.
