摘要:

We evaluated the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)for early detection of tubular injury by monitoring changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of renal water in a rat model of myohemoglobinuric glycerol-induced acute renal failure (ARF). Diffusion-weighted MRI was performed concurrently with measurements of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), evaluation of renal perfusion with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, and renal morphological examination. ADC values in the cortex and outer medulla significantly declined within minutes after the glycerol administration (70–75% of control at 4 min and 50–60% of control at 15 min). Contrast-enhanced MRI demonstrated renal hypoperfusion at 20 min after the onset of injury. Light microscopy showed normal glomeruli and edematous tubular epithelial cells at 10 and 30 min, with more severe swelling and protein casts at 30 min. No changes in serum creatinine or BUN levels were detected. We hypothesize that decrease in renal ADC may be attributed to renal ischemia and to subsequent intracellular accumulation of diffusion-restricted water. Similar imaging evaluation in other experimental models of ARF, and in patients, will define the diagnostic value of renal ADC changes in early detection of acute tubular injury.
