Synopsis

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is chronic progressive renal parenchymal damage caused by multiple factors. Evaluation of the degree of renal interstitial fibrosis (IF) is of great importance in treatment and prognosis prediction. Herein, we use multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to assess renal IF noninvasively with intention to identify the optimal MRI biomarkers for clinical application. Our results show that multi-parameter prediction model using cortical longitudinal relaxation time (cT1) and cortical true diffusion coefficient (cDt) can effectively assess the degree of renal IF and support clinical diagnosis, treatment strategy and risk stratification in CKD patients.
