Abstract

Renal screening systems include a circuit configured to electronically analyze MRI image data of a subject to evaluate renal function and generate a renal-risk report for a plurality of different therapeutic agents based on renal responses to test doses of each of the agents.

Description

[0001] Statement of Government Funding [0002] This invention was made with government support under Grant Nos. R41AG030248 and R42AG030248 from the National Institutes of Health. The US Government has certain rights in this invention. [0003] related application [0004] This application claims the benefit and priority of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 545,431, filed October 10, 2011, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. technical field [0005] The present invention relates to the use of MRI image data to assess the effects of nephropathy, disease or injury or therapy on the kidney. Background technique [0006] Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (aRAS) is increasingly recognized as a cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease. aRAS is also strongly associated with increased risk of cardiac events and mortality, with most of these effects likely attributable to associated...
