Focused ultrasound-modulated glomerular ultrafiltration assessed by functional changes in renal arteries.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of using focused ultrasound (FUS) to modulate glomerular ultrafiltration by renal artery sonication and determine if protein-creatinine ratios are estimated through vascular parameters. All animal experiments were approved by our Animal Care and Use Committee....
