Abstract EN
A shear wave velocity (SWV) value obtained by the acoustic radiation force impulse technique depends on tissue elasticity.
We investigated the relationship between SWV values and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in children with chronic kidney disease.
A total of 29 patients were enrolled in the study.
There were 18 primary and 11 secondary cases of vesico- ureteral reflux.
eGFR was calculated using Schwartz’s formulas (2012).
Partial eGFR for each kidney was assessed by multiplying the eGFR by the percentage of renal function measured by means of renal (99m)Tc-dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy.
All ultrasound tests were done by a single qualified technician using a convex probe (frequency 4 MHz) on an S-2000 system.
The mean SWV values of the two kidneys were significantly and negatively correlated with eGFR calculated with both univariate (cystatin C [Cys C]) and multivariate (creatinine, Cys C, and nitrogen) equations.
Of all the formulae, the strongest correlation was obtained with eGFR (Cys C).
SWV of the renal cortex correlates with the eGFR of patients affected by malformative uropathies.
Nevertheless, this technique needs standardization and validation.
