Diagnostic value of quantitative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for early detection of renal hyperperfusion in diabetic kidney disease.
CONCLUSION: Renal microvascular hyperperfusion may be responsible for overt proteinuria until decline of renal filtration in DKD. AUC2 could be an early and sensitive marker for early renal injury and renal microvascular hyperperfusion in DKD.
