Early changes with diabetes in renal medullary hemodynamics as evaluated by fiberoptic probes and BOLD magnetic resonance imaging.
TL;DR: Preliminary results suggest that hypoxic changes can be detected as early as 2 days in rat kidneys with diabetes by BOLD MRI and that these early changes are not dependent on blood flow.
Evaluation of Renal Blood Flow in Chronic Kidney Disease Using Arterial Spin Labeling Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging

TL;DR: The results support the use of arterial spin labeling in the evaluation of renal blood flow in patients with a moderate level of CKD, and whether these measurements can identify patients at risk for progressive CKD requires further longitudinal follow-up.

Evaluation of intra-renal oxygenation during water diuresis: A time-resolved study using BOLD MRI
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-dimensional (3-D) multiple gradient-recalled echo sequence was used to monitor changes in intra-renal oxygenation status during water diuresis.

TL;DR: To examine the benefit of using higher field strengths for BOLD MRI to detect changes in renal medullary oxygenation following pharmacological maneuvers, a comparison study with standard MRI is conducted.
Kidneys in hypertensive rats show reduced response to nitric oxide synthase inhibition as evaluated by BOLD MRI.
TL;DR: Whether the noninvasive technique of blood oxygenation level dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD MRI) can detect changes in renal medullary oxygenation following administration of a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor and whether the magnitude of the change would be reduced in the kidneys of hypertensive subjects relative to normal controls is examined.
