Shear-wave elastography measures the stiffness of renal parenchyma in kPa/m/s. We assess the degree of fibrosis in chronic nephropathies and track changes over time.
Shear-wave elastography measures the propagation speed of transverse waves in tissue and yields absolute stiffness values in kPa/m/s. This helps to judge the degree of parenchymal fibrosis in chronic nephropathies and track changes during therapy.
On the left — reasons for prescription. On the right — what the examination reveals.
24 hours before — a gentle diet, exclude gas-forming foods; come on an empty stomach for 6–8 hours (water is allowed). The duration is 15–20 minutes, the method is painless.
Stiffness depends on hydration and pressure; interpretation is performed taking into account the clinical picture and laboratory data. The final diagnosis is always made by the treating physician.
