Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, accuracy of SWE, URD, URPT, and eGFR to diagnose presence of IF.
| Sensitivity | Specificity | PPV | NPV | Accuracy | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SWE | 89% (95% CI, 86.3–100) | 90% (95 % CI, 82.4–100) | 91% (95% CI, 86.3–100) | 92% (95% CI, 82.4–100) | 93% (95% CI, 85.2–100) |

| URPT | 52% (95% CI, 81.2–100) | 85.2% (95% CI, 82.3–100) | 86.7% (95% CI, 85.6–100) | 56% (95% CI, 84.1–100) | 77% (95% CI, 86.1–100) |
| eGFR | 82% (95% CI, 85.4–100) | 92% (95% CI, 82.1–100) | 92% (95% CI, 85.4–100) | 83% (95% CI, 81.4–100) | 94% (95% CI, 89.2–100) |
PPV: positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value; CI: confidence interval; SWE: shear wave elastography; URD: ultrasonographic renal dimensions; URPT: ultrasonographic renal parenchymal thickness; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate.
