Comparison of 2D-SWV between DM-II vs Healthy subjects
The average 2D-SWV of right [1.89 (1.73-2.18) vs 1.99 (1.83-2.38) m/s,
respectively, p=0.18] or left [1.91 (1.66-2.13) vs 1.95 (1.58-2.1)
m/s, respectively, p=0.92] kidneys did not differ between the DM-II
group and healthy controls. Moreover, the 2D-SWV values of the
individual (upper, mid, and lower) portions were also similar between
both groups (p>0.05 for all) for both kidneys (Table 1).
