Abstract

Background

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects individuals of different age groups worldwide. Moreover, CKD is associated with several risk factors, including obesity, lifestyle, and hypertension, which are common in the Middle East. Ultrasonography is the examination of choice for CKD. In recent years, Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) has developed through the continued development of ultrasound and received substantial attention ;therefore, it can be used to measure tissue stiffness. The study aimed to use point Shear Wave Elastography (p-SWE) to determine the correlation between diabetes and cortical renal thickness in detecting pathologies.

Methods

This study was performed at the King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital. We examined 61 patients who underwent SWE. The patients were classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM).

Results

The results showed that there was a significant correlation between cortical stiffness and DM duration [p<0.005]. In addition, there was a negative correlation between cortical stiffness and cortical thickness [p=0.147] in patients with DM. Moreover, the eGFR decreased with an increase in cortical stiffness [p=0.499]. The cortical thickness in patients with and without DM was 0.750 ± 0.2 kPa and 0.788 ± 0.4 kPa, respectively. The kidney stiffness in patients with DM and control patients was 8.5 ± 8.6 cm and 14.0 ± 25.16 cm, respectively.

Conclusion

This study showed that kidney p-SWE measurements were reliable. Therefore, further studies assessing kidney stiffness in patients with and without people with diabetes are recommended.
