Using Renal Elastography Measurements for Evaluation of Glomerulonephritis Patients
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
All participants will clinically evaluated by history taking, full physical examination including body weight and assessment of fluid status, and blood and urine samples for lab analysis (serum creatinine, urea, sodium, potassium, corrected calcium, phosphorous, estimated glomerular filtration rate(GFR) by Cokcroft equation ((140 - age ) x body weight by Kg/creatinine by µmol )complete urine analysis including microscopic examination of urine , 24 hours urinary protein , haemoglobin level . All participants will undergo renal shear wave elastography measurements. Values will be obtained from the upper, middle, and lower zones of each kidney. A total of six shear wave elastography measurements will be collected to get mean elastography values (MEVs) of each participant.

Interventions
renal shear wave elastography
Renal shear wave elastography is a non-invasive ultrasound elastography technique that allows measurements of tissue stiffness. It provides real-time measurements of shear wave velocity (SWV) generated with an acoustic impulse, thereby providing quantitative information about tissue elasticity. Harder tissues have been shown to have higher SWV . Renal shear wave elastography will be done to both groups
