Figure 4.
Magnetic resonance elastography–derived stiffness scores may predict future changes in kidney allograft function. Shown are eGFR trajectories over the follow-up period, normalized to baseline eGFR, for (A) all patients (n=16), (B) patients with baseline eGFR ≥45 ml/min (n=4), and (C) patients with baseline eGFR <45 ml/min (n=12). Data points and best fit lines for eGFR trajectories are color coded to the mean stiffness of each allograft (the color bar on the right shows stiffness values in kilopascals). MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.
