Brief Summary: Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate GFR is the primary test used to assess patients with renal disease Although serum creatinine based GFR and nuclear medicine based estimations are routinely used in clinical practice GFR estimation by Inulin is the recommended gold standard Inulin based estimation of GFR is cumbersome and time consuming

A decrease in blood flow to the kidney Renal Blood Flow RBF is known to cause a decrease in GFR RBF is typically determined using radioactive tracers contrast MRI or a cumbersome para-aminohippuric acid PAH clearance method

MRI based assessment of GFR and RBF have been suggested to provide reasonable accuracy Most of these studies did not compare the GFR and RBF estimation directly to Inulin and PAH clearance which are ther gold standards In this study we propose to estimate MRI based GFR estimation directly to Inulin and noncontrast MRI based derived RBF to PAH to assess if MRI is an accurate test of kidney function
