Kidney Disease and Ultrasound Imaging

The hypothesis of our study is that a correlation exists between the couple ultrasound elastography- renal perfusion estimated with contrast-enhanced ultrasound and the degree of fibrosis estimated in a semi-quantitative way in 4 stages (0; 25 %; 25-50 %; \> 50 %), as elastography alone did not allow to differentiate moderated fibrosis at 3 months in our feasibility study.
