Background: Kidney biopsy is the standard of care for the diagnosis of various kidney diseases. In particular, chronic histopathologic lesions, such as interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, can provide prognostic information regarding chronic kidney disease progression. In this study, we aimed to evaluate historadiological correlations between CT-based radiomic features and chronic histologic changes in native kidney biopsies and to construct and validate a radiomics-based prediction model for chronicity grade.

- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression involves changes in the kidney's shape and size, but the specific relationship between these changes and kidney function (measured by glomerular filtration rate, GFR) hasn’t been extensively studied.
- In this study, 257 patients underwent non-contrast abdominal CT scans, and various kidney size and shape features were analyzed using advanced algorithms, revealing that most features correlated significantly with estimated GFR.
- The strongest correlation was observed with the surface-area-to-volume ratio, while patients with diabetes showed weaker correlations and less pronounced surface alterations, indicating potential diagnostic implications for assessing CKD through these three-dimensional measurements.
