Why the study?
Does ultrasound elastography accurately assess renal fibrosis and tissue elasticity in patients with kidney disorders?
Does ultrasound elastography accurately assess renal fibrosis and tissue elasticity in patients with kidney disorders?
Ultrasound elastography is a promising non-invasive tool for evaluating renal fibrosis and masses, though technical limitations and operator dependency currently limit its routine clinical use.
Elastography research is expanding in CKD and allografts; leaves open standardization and outcome validation before clinical use.
There are numerous of disorders affecting the kidneys. The most important disorder is chronic kidney disease because of being costly and going to failure. In recent years ultrasound elastography technics showed increasing development line, and more studies were performed about elastography on kidneys. The weighted amount of the elastography studies are about chronic kidney disease, kidney failure and allograft patients, while some of them are about kidney masses or diabetic nephropathy. Various studies presented various results. In this review we want to present the elastography studies about kidney.
