Renal biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of renal pathological changes

However

this method is an invasive examination

and there are potential risks and clinical contraindications

so it has certain limitations in clinical application. In addition

due to the limitation of medical technology and conditions

renal biopsy can not be performed in some places. Compared with renal biopsy

ultrasound elastography has the advantages of economy

noninvasive

real-time monitoring

and plays an important auxiliary role in evaluating the changes of kidney stiffness and elasticity in children. This paper summarizes the application and the latest research progress of ultrasound elastography in children with kidney disease.
