2 Figure 1 Left and right kidney length, expressed in % of the expected size. (a) Children born at term with appropriate weight (n=15). No significant difference was detected. (b) Low birth weight (LBW) children with known salt sensitivity. Black circles denote salt sensitive (n=9) and gray circles indicate salt-resistant children (n=15). Left kidneys were smaller than right ones (P=0.04). (c) LBW children with unknown salt sensitivity (n=11). Left kidneys were smaller than right ones (P=0.03).
