Background: Noninvasive quantitative measurement of fibrosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) would be desirable diagnostically and therapeutically but standard radiologic imaging is too variable for clinical usage. By applying a vibratory force, tissue shear wave stiffness can be measured by magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) that may correlate...

... This hydrostatic pressure enables a relatively constant filtration of blood in the glomeruli, i.e., glomerular filtration rate (~120 mL/min; GFR). Therefore, quantifying biomechanical properties-even with contributions from perfusion and fibrosis-has the potential to assess kidney function Kirpalani et al., 2017;Marticorena Garcia et al., 2018a;Lang et al., 2019;Beck-Tölly et al., 2020;Brown et al., 2020;Zhang et al., 2021;Chen et al., 2022;Shatil et al., 2022). ...
