Correlation analysis of renal ultrasound elastography and clinical and pathological changes in patients with chronic kidney disease 
.

CONCLUSIONS: The YM of the renal cortex and medulla are associated with the progression of renal insufficiency, and renal ultrasound elastography shows promise as a new means of assessing the stage of CKD. Renal ultrasound elastography is expected to become a new, noninvasive method for the early diagnosis of CKD and the dynamic monitoring of disease progression as well as the assessment of efficacy and prognosis.
