An evaluation with shear wave elastography of kidney elasticity in patients with familial Mediterranean fever.

Purpose: To investigate the changes in kidney elasticity in patients with familial Mediterranean fever using the non-invasive diagnostic method of shear wave elastography (SWE).

Methods: The kidney elasticity of 35 FMF patients and 23 healthy control subjects was evaluated with SWE. The relationships were evaluated of the SWE values with eGFR, microproteinuria, FMF severity score, number of attacks per month, and colchicine doses of the FMF patients.

Testes Parenchymal Shear Wave Elastography Findings in Varicocele.

Objective: To investigate the testicular parenchymal changes in patients with varicocele using shear wave elastography (SWE).

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Radiology, Hatay Mustafa Kemal, School of Medicine, Hatay, Turkey, between June and August 2021.
