Abstract：ARFI technology is a new technology of ultrasonic elastography in recent years, a large number of studies confirmed that ARFI technology VTQ can quantify the response of liver fibrosis, similarly, fibrosis process also occurs in renal diseases. At present, VTQ technology is applied in many aspects, such as normal kidney, acute kidney disease, chronic kidney disease, kidney transplantation, kidney tumor, nutcracker syndrome, renal obstruction, pregnancy induced hypertension and so on. In this paper, the research progress of VTQ technique in the evaluation of renal elasticity is reviewed.
