In this study we sought to assess if there was a
correlation between arterial spin labeled perfusion and
blood oxygen level dependent oxygenation measurements in
healthy subjects and patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD). We found that there was no significant
correlation between the two, suggesting that, unlike
most organs, renal oxygenation is not determined by
blood flow. Additionally we found a significant R2*
change in healthy subjects renal medulla between
baseline and furosemide challenge. No significant change
in R2* was observed in other regions or CKD patients.
