👉 Nephometer is a unit of measurement used in medicine to measure the diameter of a kidney. It is defined as the length of the longest possible straight line segment that can be drawn from one point on the surface of the kidney to another, without crossing any part of the kidney. This measurement is used to determine the size and function of the kidneys in humans, and it plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing conditions such as glomerulonephritis (kidney inflammation).
