    Purpose. To determine whether kidney sizes were changed after ureteral stents were instilled, and if so, what parameters were\nsignificant. Methods. Parenchymal width (PW) of 98 patients with unilateral ureteral stents was measured from the coronal view\nof CT scans for both stented and unstented contralateral kidney. The mean PW and % change of mean PW were calculated\nbefore stenting and at the time of last stent change. Estimated glomerular filtrate rate (eGFR) was recorded as well. Results. The\nmean duration of ureteral stent indwelled was 15.6 Ã?± 10.2 (mean Ã?± SD) months.The change of mean PW of stented kidneys and\nunstented contralateral kidneys was âË?â??16.9 Ã?± 16.4 (mean Ã?± SD)% and 3.6 Ã?± 10.7%, respectively. eGFR before and at the time of the\nlast stent change did not show significant difference (
