P values are reported. Statistically-significant results are marked in bold
Renal stiffness was assessed for 19 patients by one trained operator through shear-waves elastography on Aixplorer (SuperSonic Imagine, Aix-en-Provence, France)
^aRenal stiffness could not be evaluated in patients with pre-existing kidney comorbidities
