“…In addition to SWE evaluations of healthy kidneys, considerable numbers of SWE studies have been conducted to assess various diseases of the kidneys. Bilgici et al found decreased SWV values in kidneys with chronic renal failure compared to normal ones in a pediatric population. Takata et al found decreased SWV values in chronic renal failure using acoustic radiation force impulse imaging; however, in their study, no significant difference was observed between the kidneys with the early‐stage renal parenchymal disease and the kidneys with end‐stage renal disease.…”

“…In contrast to the above-mentioned studies, Bob et al [ 15 ] reported that the ARFI-e measurement values of the patient group were lower than those of the control group in a study of adult patients diagnosed with GN. Similarly, the renal parenchyma was evaluated with ARFI-e in pediatric patients with CKD by Bilgici et al [ 27 ]. The mean SWV values of the patient group were lower than those of the control group [ 27 ].…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the acoustic radiation force impulse elastography (ARFI-e) values of the renal cortical parenchyma in children with acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) and healthy children, and to determine a cut-off point for the diagnosis of AGN.Methods: This prospective study included 30 children with biopsy-proven AGN and 30 healthy children. All the children underwent renal ARFI-e measurements. Values were obtained from the upper, middle, and lower zones of the right kidney parenchyma. A total of nine ARFI-e measurements (three from each zone) were made. Statistical analyses were conducted of the mean elastography values (MEVs) of the children in both groups.Results: In the patient group, the MEVs measured from the upper, middle and lower zones of the right kidney were 3.42±0.42 m/s, 3.45±0.45 m/s, and 3.39±0.39 m/s (average, 3.42±0.34 m/s), respectively. In the healthy control group, the MEVs measured from the upper, middle, and lower zones of the right kidney were 2.85±0.63 m/s, 2.85±0.68 m/s, and 2.86±0.66 m/s (average, 2.85±0.57 m/s), respectively. The MEVs in all zones were significantly higher in the patient group than in the healthy group (P<0.001). The cut-off values determined to predict AGN in the upper, middle, and lower zones of the kidney were 2.74 m/s (sensitivity, 96.67%; specificity, 46.67%), 2.71 m/s (sensitivity, 96.67%; specificity, 53.33%), and 2.81 m/s (sensitivity, 93.33%; specificity, 56.67%), respectively.Conclusion: The ARFI-e technique can be considered as a non-invasive, easily applicable, auxiliary method for the early diagnosis of AGN.

“…There are conflicting results about the alterations of SWV values for damaged renal parenchyma in literature. Bilgici et al [31] and Hu et al [32] reported that SWV values decrease with chronic renal failure compared to healthy paediatric kidneys. Takata et al [33] found decreased SWV values in chronic renal failure; however, in their study, no significant difference was observed between the kidneys with early-stage renal parenchymal disease and the kidneys with end-stage renal disease.…”

Aim: To determine the early effects of excess weight on renal cortical stiffness in children and adolescents using point shear wave elastography (pSWE). Materials and methods: One hundred and forty-six overweight and obese children (43.2% male; mean age, 12.6±2.9 years: range 4.3-18) and 48 lean children (27.1% male: mean age, 12.4±3.4: range 4.8-18.9) were included in the study and control group, respectively. pSWE measurements of the two kidneys were performed. The mean value of shear wave velocity was compared between groups. Results: The mean shear wave velocity was 2.79±0.53 m/s for the control subjects and 3.09±0.59 m/s for the overweight-obese subjects. The differences between the two groups were sta-tistically significant (p=0.001). There was no correlation between shear wave velocity and age or depth. A positive correlation was found between shear wave velocity and body mass index, body mass index-standard deviation score. Conclusion: Renal cortical stiffness was higher in children with excess weight than in lean children. This study is the first attempt at applying pSWE to investigate the early adverse effects of excess weight.
