Introduction of the Grayscale Median for Ultrasound Tissue Characterization of the Transplanted Kidney

Camilo G. Sotomayor et al.

Summary: Ultrasound examination is recommended for early post-kidney transplant evaluation. Grayscale median quantification is a new method in the kidney transplant field, and this study measured post-operative GSM in a large cohort of adult KTR. The study found that higher GSM in KTR was associated with systolic blood pressure, history of cardiovascular disease, and donor age.
