Amide proton transfer (APT) and mDixon - Quant techniques have been applied in clinical work, However, there was no study on the degree of renal damage in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We discussed the value of APT combined with R2* to assess the degree of renal damage. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of APT combined R2* were 0.925, 88% and 100%, respectively. The combination of APT and R2* can improve the diagnostic ability of discriminating CKD from HVs, which has certain clinical application value.
