How reliable is renal ultrasound to measure renal length and volume in patients with chronic kidney disease compared with magnetic resonance imaging?

CONCLUSIONS: US-based assessment of renal length in CKD patients is comparable to MRI measures. Both intra- and inter-observer reproducibility of US-assessed renal length in CKD patients are high. Measurements of US renal volume and parenchymal thickness should, however, be interpreted with caution. PMID: 31091970 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
