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 …

Purpose To explore the elastic values obtained by shear wave elastography (SWE) in
assessing renal fibrosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods One hundred and twenty …

Ultrasound is a key imaging tool for evaluating the kidney. Over the last two decades,
methods to measure the mechanical properties of soft tissues have been developed and …

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 …

Background To assess the knowledge framework around magnetic resonance elastography
(MRE) and to explore MRE research hotspots and emerging trends. Methods The Science …

The activation of Yes-associated protein (YAP) pathway is mutually causal with the increase
of extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness. Polydatin (PD) has been proved to have anti-fibrosis …

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 purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of shear
wave elastography (SWE) for the staging of renal fibrosis in patients with chronic kidney …

Objective: Optical coherence elastography (OCE) was used to demonstrate the relationship
between the elasticity of the optic nerve head (ONH) and different intraocular pressure (IOP) …

Renal anisotropy is a complex property of the kidney and often poses a challenge in
obtaining consistent measurements when using shear wave elastography to detect chronic …
