| Core Tip |
Renal biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing glomerulonephritis, but imaging plays an increasingly important complementary role. Conventional ultrasound provides essential prognostic information, while advanced techniques, including contrast-enhanced ultrasound, elastography, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine, show promise for assessing fibrosis and disease activity. However, overlapping imaging findings across glomerulonephritis subtypes and lack of standardization limit their diagnostic specificity. These non-invasive modalities can aid in risk stratification and disease monitoring, but cannot yet replace biopsy for definitive diagnosis or therapeutic decision-making. |
