Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the hyperacute and acute changes in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), T1, and T2 mapping in rat kidneys after severe bilateral renal ischemic-reperfusion injury (IRI). After baseline MRI, 24 Spraque-Dawley rats with renal IRI were divided equally as group 1 (post-IRI MRI at 6 hours, days 1, 3, and 7) and groups 2, 3, and 4 (post-IRI MRI at 6 hours; 6 hours and day 1; 6 hours, days 1 and 3, respectively), while six other rats without IRI (group 5) were used as sham control. ADC, T1, and T2 values of the cortex and outer and inner stripes of outer medulla (OSOM and ISOM), and immunohistochemical studies assessing monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), CD68+ cells, tubular cast formation, and collagen deposition in three zones at different time points were evaluated. Significantly reduced ADCs in OSOM and ISOM are noninvasive biomarkers denoting hyperacute damages after IRI. Linear regression analysis revealed a significant inverse correlation between 6-hour/baseline ADC ratios and MCP-1 staining (P < 0.001, r2 = 0.738). ADC, T1, and T2 values are useful for assessing variable IRI changes in different layers depending on underlying microstructural and histopathological changes at different time points.
