Ultrasonographic features of IgG4-related kidney disease: diagnostic value and correlation with clinical-pathological findings
Ultrasonography in IgG4-RKD reveals a characteristic pattern of findings that not only serve a descriptive role but also quantitatively correlate with serological disease activity and renal dysfunction. Therefore, ultrasound is a valuable, non-invasive tool for initial assessment, guiding diagnosis, and monitoring therapeutic response in the clinical management of IgG4-RKD.
