Noninvasive evaluation of renal oxygenation in primary nephrotic syndrome with blood oxygen level dependent magnetic resonance imaging: Initial experience

Conclusions
The medullary oxygen concentration was higher in patients with PNS than in control subjects. BOLD MRI was a useful noninvasive method for the evaluation of renal function and tubulointerstitial impairment.
