Brief Summary

This study is for individuals with decreased kidney function whose doctor has ordered Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Because kidney function is decreased, these patients usually do not receive the intravenous contrast material that can improve the accuracy of the MRI findings. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and benefit of using a contrast material called Gadoterate in patients with decreased kidney function.

Conditions

Renal Dysfunction

Keywords

Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Contrast Agent; Gadoterate

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

  Change in GFR from 0 to 72 hours

  72 hours

Study Arms (2)

Gadoterate

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients who choose to receive Gadoterate will receive an MRI exam with standard pre-contrast and Gadoterate-enhanced acquisitions (0.2 mL/kg). The MRI protocol utilized in the study will be comprised of the standard Body protocols (routine abdomen, liver-pancreas, renal, prostate, angiography) as well as the standard Neurologic exam protocols (routine brain, orbital, brainstem, neck, angiography).

Drug: Gadoterate

No Gadoterate

OTHER

Patients who choose not to receive Gadoterate will receive an MRI exam with no Gadolinium contrast. MRI protocols utilized in the study will be comprised of the standard Body protocols (routine abdomen, liver-pancreas, renal, prostate, angiography) as well as the standard Neurologic exam protocols (routine brain, orbital, brainstem, neck, angiography).

Other: No Gadoterate
