Description
Yanrong Yang and co-authors built in 2026 a tracking model for kidney transplant function. It joins shear wave elastography with lab tests. Follow-up after transplant most often leans on blood tests. Those mirror function indirectly. Graft stiffness may signal injury more directly.
Ultrasound elastography was done during routine follow-up at West China Hospital. The span was late 2021 to mid-2022. Stiffness was tallied as shear wave velocity. It was measured three times per patient and summed by the median. Joining scan stiffness with lab markers lifted graft status checks. The model gives a noninvasive adjunct that could flag dysfunction sooner and cut reliance on invasive biopsy.
