Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the connection between shear wave velocity in the kidneys of patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) and histological parameters from renal biopsies using Virtual Touch Quantification (VTQ).
- The research included 20 patients with CGN and 57 normal controls, measuring kidney stiffness and assessing histological features like glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis.
- Results indicated that shear wave velocities were significantly lower in CGN patients compared to controls, and lower VTQ values were associated with interstitial fibrosis and arteriolo-hyalinosis, suggesting a link between kidney stiffness and disease severity.
