    This study examined how haemodialysis, a treatment for kidney failure that removes waste and excess fluid from the blood, affects the propagation of acoustic shear waves in the skin. Researchers measured shear wave velocity in the skin of patients before and after haemodialysis treatment using transient elastography. They found that shear wave velocity significantly increased after haemodialysis, indicating that fluid removal from tissues during the treatment makes the skin stiffer. This demonstrates that haemodialysis influences the mechanical properties of skin that are assessed using transient elastography techniques.
