Description
Standard kidney tests like creatinine and filtration rate can miss early damage and disagree with what the tissue shows. Akira Yamamoto, Yu Ueda, Hideki Kagioka, and Tsutomu Tamada survey fifteen years of work on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in 2026. These scans measure kidney structure and function without radiation or gadolinium contrast. The review covers mapping methods for scarring and inflammation, oxygen-sensitive scans, and diffusion methods for fine tissue injury. It also covers a labeling method that tracks blood flow.
Many of these measures track current kidney function. Some, especially cortical diffusion values, line up with later decline in filtration. The authors say wider clinical use now depends on standard scan settings and shared reference values.
