Early detection of chronic kidney disease is important to prevent progression of irreversible
kidney damage, reducing the need for renal transplantation. Shear wave elastography is …

The early detection of a kidney injury is essential to protect against the progression of kidney
damage owing to the progressive nature of chronic kidney disease. A renal biopsy is the …

The application of ultrasound shear wave elastography for detecting chronic kidney disease,
namely renal fibrosis, has been widely studied. A good correlation between tissue Young's …

Aim Renal biopsy is the gold standard for the histological characterization of chronic kidney
disease (CKD), of which renal fibrosis is a dominant component, affecting its stiffness. The …

Background There currently is a need for a non-invasive measure of renal fibrosis. We aim
to explore whether shear wave elastography (SWE)-derived estimates of tissue stiffness may …

Background To evaluate the effect of perfusion status on elasticity measurements of different
compartments in the kidney using shear wave elastography (SWE) both in vivo and ex vivo …

Tissue elasticity is related to the pathologic state of kidneys and can be measured using
shear wave elastography (SWE). However, SWE quantification has not been rigorously …

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive loss of renal function, mainly
due to hypertension, diabetes, and primary kidney disease. The histopathological findings …

Objectives There are conflicting results in the literature on the use of shear wave
elastography of the kidney parenchyma to determine whether renal stiffness values are …

Objective: Many studies have conflicting findings in using shear wave elastography (SWE) to
assess renal fibrosis. This study reviews the use of SWE to evaluate pathological changes in …
