Core Tip
Core Tip: This prospective study showed that mean shear wave elastography (SWE) and interlobar artery resistive index values were slightly higher in patients with acute graft dysfunction compared to stable grafts. Grafts with biopsy-confirmed dysfunction showed slightly higher values than biopsy negative grafts. Therefore, SWE may be a valuable imaging modality for the assessment of renal allograft pathology and their monitoring if combined with routine ultrasonography. Further evaluation on a larger more diverse sample cohort should be performed.
