AIM: Acoustic radiation force impulse is a noninvasive method for evaluating tissue elasticity on ultrasound. Renal shear wave velocity measured by this technique has not been fully investigated in @entity1 with @entity8 . The aim of the present study was to compare renal shear wave velocity in @entity454 @entity1 and that in @entity1 without @entity740 and to investigate influencing factors. METHODS: Renal shear wave velocities were measured in 59 healthy young subjects (control group), 31 subjects without @entity740 (non-CKD group), and 39 @entity454 @entity1 ( @entity454 group). Each measurement was performed ten times at both kidneys, and the mean value of eight of ten measurements, excluding the maximum and minimum values, was compared. RESULTS: Renal shear wave velocity could be measured in all subjects. Renal shear wave velocity in the control group was higher than in the non-CKD group and in the @entity454 group, and no difference was found between the non-CKD group and the @entity454 group. Age and depth were negatively correlated to the renal shear wave velocity. In multiple regression analysis, age and depth were independent factors for renal shear wave velocity, while @entity8 was not. There was no difference between the non-CKD group and the @entity454 group, even when ages were matched and depth was adjusted. CONCLUSION: Renal shear wave velocity was not associated with advanced @entity8 . However, it reflected alteration of renal aging, and this technique may be useful to detect @entity8 in the earlier stages. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
