Summary

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.
