In Traditional Chinese Medicine, size and shape of the external ears are examined to evaluate the person's kidney health. We hypothesized that ear size might be a practical yet overlooked marker of kidney reserve. Fifty kidney transplantation donors were participated in this study. The length and width of both ears of all participants were measured during one of the post\u2010donation visits. Pre\u2010donation serum creatinine and post\u2010donation serum creatinine as well as other relevant parameters (age, sex, weight, height, etc.) of the participants were extracted from medical records. The estimated GFR was calculated from serum creatinine, age and sex using the CKD\u2010EPI equation. Ear length negatively associated with %GFR decline after kidney donation. For every 1\u2009cm increase in ear length, it was associated with 5.7% less GFR decline after kidney donation (95% Confidence Interval 0.2 to 11.3, <jats:italic>P\u2009=<\/jats:italic>\u20090.04). Ear width, as well as age, sex, body weight, height, body mass index, and pre\u2010donation eGFR did not significantly associate with the GFR decline. Our findings support the notion of Traditional Chinese Medicine that ear morphology may be associated with kidney health and suggest that ear length might be a useful predictor of kidney function decline after kidney donation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/nep.12794","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,10]],"date-time":"2016-04-10T17:40:45Z","timestamp":1460310045000},"page":"975-978","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ear length and kidney function decline after kidney donation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Pisut","family":"Katavetin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University  Bangkok Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salin","family":"Watanatorn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University  Bangkok Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natavudh","family":"Townamchai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University  Bangkok Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yingyos","family":"Avihingsanon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University  Bangkok Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kearkiat","family":"Praditpornsilpa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University  Bangkok Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.2004100824"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2215\/CJN.01040115"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9343(83)90873-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000363721"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/08860228509088205"},{"issue":"9","key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","first-page":"1629","article-title":"Sequential analysis of variation in glomerular filtration rate to calculate the haemodynamic response to a meat meal","volume":"10","author":"De Santo NG","year":"1995","journal-title":"Nephrol.
