Keywords: Kidney, KidneyDiabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Morphological evaluation of renal compartment volume changes and functional evaluation of renal ADC changes provide comprehensive insight into DKD disease progression. This study compares renal compartment volume changes including: 1) parenchyma volume ,2) pelvis volume, 3) whole kidney volume and 4) parenchyma volume percentage and the functional parameter ADC for DKD groups with different CKD staging. Our results demonstrate that cortical/medullary ADC, parenchyma volume and whole kidney volume are correlated with eGFR and suggest that the cortical ADC is a stronger predictor of eGFR in DKD.
