Sonographic Renal Cortical Thickness and Echogenicity as Correlates of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Cross-sectional Study from North-western Nigeria

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 106 people with kidney disease and 106 healthy controls. It found that a simple ultrasound can show how thick the kidney tissue is. Thinner tissue linked to lower kidney filtering rates. This shows a link, not proof of cause.
