Hypoperfusion and hypoxia are thought to be important factors in the pathogenesis of AKI and in the progression from AKI to chronic kidney disease. Previous studies have demonstrated the correlation between MR relaxation time (T1 and T2*) and tissue oxygenation. The result of this preliminary study suggests BOLD and T1 mapping are potential to diagnose AKI at early stage and predict the progression of AKI non-invasively.
