Brief Summary
Research question: Can multiparametric renal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provide structural and functional assessment of the kidneys to deliver prognostic information and guide treatment options in chronic kidney disease (CKD)? Aims and objectives:
- 1.To establish a multiparametric renal MRI protocol in CKD cohorts.
- 2.To use multiparametric MRI to characterise people with and without CKD progression.
- 3.To compare multiparametric renal MRI with 'gold-standard' renal biopsy to determine pathological processes of CKD progression that are detectable by MRI.
