Direct comparison of the thickness of the parietal peritoneum using peritoneal biopsy and ultrasonography of the abdominal wall in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasonography results differ markedly from histological measurement using peritoneal biopsies. However, the hyperechoic line generated by US represents the interface between 2 neighboring tissues and not a separate morphological structure. Moreover, its thickness is greatly influenced by user-defined US settings. PMID: 31337699 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
