in the early gestational period, the weight of the adrenal glands outweighs even the metanephric kidneys and is comparatively a larger organ. after the 10th week of gestation, the kidney grows at a much rapid rate than the adrenal glands. hence with an increase in gestational time, i.e. by the 12th week of gestation, both the kidneys and adrenal glands measure the same. post 12 weeks the kidneys measure more than the adrenal glands. however, the adrenal gland is a larger organ in the fetus than the adult. the same group of researchers further observed that with the increase of fetal age, the adrenal glands also weigh more as observed by the research group in 90 human fetuses. however, the rate of increase is not uniform and varies throughout the fetal growth like other organs.
