- Brief Summary
The mean renal elasticity of mild, moderate, and severe renal fibrosis was 3.40, 3.98, and 4.77, respectively. Renal elasticity of native kidneys was significantly positively correlated with the grade of renal fibrosis (P??=??0.003). At the cutoff point of 3.81, the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.778, 68.4%, and 81.8%, respectively.
