Brief Summary

Multimodal functional magnetic resonance (MR) methods, including MR diffusion, Blood-Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) imaging and MR spectroscopy may provide complementary information about the functional status of a kidney. The researchers hypothesize that these non-invasive methods correlate with histology as "gold standard" and compete favorably with conventional in part invasive evaluation methods, and thus provide specific and early detection of kidney diseases of various etiologies, drug toxicity, or renal allograft dysfunction.

Conditions

Kidney Transplantation; Urinary Calculi

Keywords

magnetic resonance imaging; renal function; renal transplant; urinary calculi; healthy controls; kidney

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Correlation of functional MR parameters with histology results as "gold standard" or with final clinical outcome

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Correlation with clinical results, laboratory results (e.g. GFR, serum-creatinine levels), results from other imaging procedures, correlation within MR parameters (e.g. in vivo metabolites vs. in vitro (from urine) metabolites, oxygenation vs. diffusion)

  6 months
