Abstract
Abstract The study aimed to discriminate renal allografts with impaired function by measuring cortical renal blood flow (cRBF) using magnetic resonance imaging arterial spin labelling (ASL-MRI) in paediatric and young adult patients. We included 18 subjects and performed ASL-MRI on 1.5 T MRI to calculate cRBF on parameter maps. cRBF was correlated to calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and compared between patient groups with good (GFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) and impaired allograft function (GFR
