With the increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease
(CKD), the cost of care is a tremendous economic burden
to healthcare system. With the lack of markers specific
to CKD and to evaluate risk of progression, management
is uniform and sub-optimal. The progression of CKD is
thought to involve renal hypoxia and fibrosis. Blood
oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) and diffusion MRI
allow for non-invasive evaluation of renal hypoxia and
fibrosis respectively. Here we show preliminary data
with R2* and ADC in a group of CKD patients with
diabetes compared to healthy controls. CKD had higher
R2* and lower ADC values.
