Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful tool for examining kidney function, including organ blood flow and oxygen bioavailability. We have used contrast enhanced perfusion and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) MR imaging to assess kidney transplants with normal function, acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and acute rejection. BOLD and MR-perfusion imaging were performed on seventeen subjects with recently transplanted kidneys. There was a significant difference between medullary R2* values in the group with acute rejection (R2*=16.2/s) compared to allografts with ATN (R2*=19.8/s;P=0.047) and normal-functioning allografts (R2*=24.3/s;P=0.0003). There was a significant difference between medullary perfusion measurements in the group with acute rejection (124.4±41.1 ml/100g/min) compared to those in patients with ATN (246.9±123.5 ml/100g/min;P=0.02) and normal-functioning allografts (220.8±95.8 ml/100g/min;P=0.02). This study highlights the utility of combining perfusion and BOLD MR imaging to assess renal function. We have demonstrated a decrease in medullary R2* (decrease deoxyhemoglobin) on BOLD MR imaging and a decrease in medullary blood flow by MR perfusion imaging in those allografts with acute rejection, which indicates an increase in medullary oxygen bioavailability in allografts with rejection, despite a decrease in blood flow.
