Shear Wave Velocity of Kidney ParenchymaPrimary· 6 months
The shear wave velocity of the kidneys will be determined using the elastography ultrasound machine. This will enable us to calculate the tissue elasticity using a standard formula. Shear wave velocity is measured in meters per second, at a range of 0-5 m/s with the highest number reporting hard consistency (fibrosis - worse outcome).

Sponsor's own description
In this proposal, the aim is to examine shear wave elastography (SWE) measurements in diseased native kidneys and correlate them with grades of fibrosis using histological samples.
The overall goals of the proposed study are addressed by the following specific aim.
Specific aim: To determine whether differences exist in elasticity measurements between native kidneys with and without fibrosis.
Hypothesis: Kidneys with higher grades of fibrosis will demonstrate higher measures of tissue elasticity and stiffness compared to kidneys with zero fibrosis.
