A joint BOLD and ASL MRI assessment of renal oxygenation and perfusion was performed in subjects with stage-3 CKD with diabetes. This group was found to have lower renal oxygenation levels (increased R2*) and decreased perfusion compared to a group of controls. A significant correlation was observed between perfusion and eGFR, and a negative correlation between R2* and eGFR. There was significant negative correlation between R2* and perfusion. These observations are consistent with chronic hypoxia theory.
