Renal elasticity assessment in patients of glomerulonephritis by shear-wave elastography and its correlation with histopathology and renal biomarkers
SWE correlates strongly with histological fibrosis in GN, outperforming conventional ultrasound and serum TGF-β1. It may serve as a non-invasive surrogate marker for moderate-to-marked fibrosis and assist in minimizing unnecessary biopsies. SWE also demonstrates potential for monitoring disease progression.
