Title: | Ciné phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging for the measurement of renal blood flow. | Austin Authors: | Prowle, John R;Molan, Maurice P;Hornsey, Emma ;Bellomo, Rinaldo | Affiliation: | Department of Intensive Care, Austin Health, Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia | Issue Date: | 20-Apr-2010 | Publication information: | Contributions To Nephrology 2010; 165: 329-36 | Abstract: | During critical illness, reductions in renal blood flow (RBF) are believed to be a major cause of kidney dysfunction, and therapy is often aimed at restoration of RBF. Despite this, our ability to measure RBF during critical illness has been limited by the invasiveness of the available techniques. Ciné Phase-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CPC-MRI) represents an entirely noninvasive, contrast-free method of measuring blood flow with the potential of enabling the measurement of blood flow to major organs including the kidney. We have recently assessed the feasibility of measuring RBF by means of CPC-MRI in 2 critically ill patients with septic acute kidney injury and were able to compare such measurements to those obtained in a normal volunteer. | Gov't Doc #: | 20427985 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11025 | DOI: | 10.1159/000313774 | Journal: | Contributions to nephrology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20427985 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Acute Kidney Injury.physiopathology.therapy Adult Aged Blood Flow Velocity.physiology Blood Pressure Cardiac Output Contrast Media Critical Illness Electrocardiography Female Glomerular Filtration Rate Heart.physiology.physiopathology Humans Magnetic Resonance Imaging.methods Magnetics Male Middle Aged Renal Artery.physiology Renal Circulation.physiology Renal Replacement Therapy Vascular Resistance Vasoconstriction |
