In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Development of renal fibrosis is the irreversible culmination of various renal diseases and independently predicts adverse outcomes. Currently renal fibrosis can only be diagnosed by performing a renal biopsy. The procedure is invasive and is limited by sampling bias. In recent years there has been a significant development in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based techniques. MRI can provide highly detailed anatomical images. Other MRI measures allow quantitative measurements of perfusion, oxygenation, tissue stiffness and diffusion of water molecules within tissue. The combination of several MRI techniques sensitive to different biophysical tissue properties in a single scan session is referred to as multiparametric MRI (mpMRI). Emerging evidence suggests that mpMRI could represent a method for indirect characterization of renal microstructure and extent of fibrosis. So far, studies
