The problem is that you are reversing the string a few times. The following will do: (defun base8 (n) (let ((t8 (truncate n 8)) (m8 (mod n 8))) (if (= t8 0) (list m8) (append (base8 t8) (list m8))))) EDIT Here's a solution without append, using a helper function.
So, the average weight for a healthy, human kidney is 0.26-0.30 pounds. (approx.) The average weight for a healthy, human kidney is 120-140 grams. 1 pound= 453.59237 grams.

The mean thickness of this body part is around 3 centimeters. The mean weight of a kidney is 120 grams to 150 grams. With these dimensions, any decrease in the kidney size is abnormal. However, the size of a kidney can still grow after maturation. This can happen if one of the kidneys was removed.
