Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the use of real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) to assess chronic kidney disease (CKD) in kids by comparing 58 CKD patients with 70 healthy volunteers.
- Results showed that the Young's modulus (YM), which indicates stiffness, was significantly higher in CKD patients, reflecting kidney damage and correlating with severity levels of kidney fibrosis.
- The findings suggest that SWE is an effective, non-invasive method for measuring kidney stiffness in children with CKD, providing important insights into their condition.
