Acute kidney injuries (AKI) of various origins share one
common feature: imbalance between local tissue oxygen
delivery and demand. Changes in tissue pO2 and T2* may
be closely related, however, their link could be
influenced by variations in blood volume fraction. We
hypothesized that monitoring of RBV could provide
evidence for a significant RBV reduction during aortic
occlusion, and hence for the relevance of RBV when
interpreting renal T2*. To test our hypothesis we
established RBV estimation with ferumoxytol at 9.4 Tesla
in rats and compared the effects of renal arterio-venous
occlusion with suprarenal aortic occlusion while
monitoring renal T2*.
