The current clinical marker (serum creatinine) is not time-sensitive to guide intervention to prevent iodinated contrast induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI). Blood-oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) MRI showed near real time changes in renal hypoxia following contrast administration in a previous functional CIAKI rat model. In this study, streptozotocin induced diabetic rat was used as a CIAKI susceptible model. While the renal hypoxia in medulla increased following contrast administration, it fell back towards baseline. Urinary NGAL increasing confirmed AKI. This indicates the need for real time marker to monitor the temporal changes of renal hypoxia during contrast administration.
