Renal cortex (fetal, 27 wks)

 

 

From 24 through 32 weeks of gestation the age of a normal fetal kidney can be approximated by

adding 20 to the number of layers of glomeruli along a medullary ray. This is not an exact science

but can be helpful in cases in which gestational age was not well-established.
