Summary
This is a pilot study to investigate whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) may help
evaluate segmental differences in renal perfusion better than Doppler Ultrasound and thus
help direct the biopsy to the most abnormal part of the renal cortex. This should maximize
detection and increase the odds of demonstrating the true grade/severity of the
histopathological abnormality.
