Abstract

Objective: To explore the value of real-time elastic shear wave in evaluating muscle elasticity in patients with renal failure. Methods: 50 patients with chronic renal failure from January 2019 to December 2022 were randomly selected as the experimental group, and 50 healthy patients aged 21–61 during the same period were selected as the control group, and the basic information of the patients, including age, gender, body mass index, etc., were collected. Besides, the Young’s modulus of the two groups of patients were observed and analyzed. Results: The Young’s modulus values of left and right gastrocnemius muscles in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and there was no statistical difference between the left and right sides of the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Real-time shear wave elastography provides a non-invasive, real-time and effective tool for the assessment of muscle elasticity in patients with renal failure. Through further research and optimization, real-time shear wave elastography will play a greater role in the prevention and treatment of patients with renal failure, improving
the quality of life and prognosis of patients.
