Is there a correlation between kidney shear wave velocity measured with VTQ and histological parameters in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis? A pilot study.

CONCLUSION: Our pilot study shows that shear wave velocity values in patients with CGN are significantly lower compared to normal controls, and there is a tendency to decrease with the decrease of eGFR, with the presence of interstitial fibrosis and of arteriolo-hyalinosis.
