BackgroundAcute rejection (AR) and acute tubular necrosis (ATN) are main causes of early renal allograft dysfunction. Blood oxygen level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD MRI) and Diffusion weighted (DW) MRI can provide valuable information about changes of oxygen bioavailability and water diffusion by measuring R2* or apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) respectively. We aimed to determine the value of BOLD MRI and DW MRI in detecting causes for early allograft dysfunction in renal allograft recipients.MethodsFifty patients received renal allografts from deceased donors were analyzed, including 35 patients with normal renal function (control group), 10 AR patients and 5 ATN patients. Cortical R2* (CR2*) and medullary R2* (MR2*) were measured by BOLD MRI. Ten diffusion gradientbvalues (0, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1200s/mm2) were used in DW MRI. ADC values were measured in renal cortex (CADC) and medulla (MADC). CADCland MADClwere measured under lowbvalues (b≤ 200 s/mm2), while CADChand MADChwere measured under highbvalues (b> 200 s/mm2).ResultsMR2* was significantly lower in AR group (18.2 ± 1.5/s) than control group (23.8 ± 5.0/s, p = 0.001) and ATN group (25.8 ± 5.0/s, p = 0.004). There was a tendency of lower levels on CADCl, MADCl, CADChor MADChin AR group than in control group. There were no differences on ADC values between AR group and ATN group.ConclusionsBOLD MRI was a valuable method in detection of renal allografts with acute rejection.
