Chronic Allograft Nephropathy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Validity of Strain Elastography for the Evaluation of Chronic Allograft Nephropathy
Chronic allograft nephropathy is one of dreaded complication of kidney transplant. It is one of the major determinants of long term graft survival. There are a number of factors that can contribute to chronic allograft nephropathy including chronic use of calcineurin inhibitors. Renal biopsy is the investigation of choice to detect chronic renal allograft nephropathy. renal biopsy has a number of complications . This includes infection and bleeding. The non invasive renal sono-elastography (strain and Shear Wave Imaging) technique has shown very good yield of detecting and scoring fibrosis. In this study our aim is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of ( strain sono-elastography) in the detection and classifying of chronic allograft nephropathy as compared to transcutaneous renal biops
