Evaluation of renal oxygenation by BOLD–MRI in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes and matched controls

Abstract

T2DM patients with normal to moderate CKD do not seem to have lower renal oxygenation when measured with BOLD-MRI and TLCO. BOLD-MRI has a low intraindividual CV and seems like a reliable method for investigation of renal oxygenation in T2DM.
