RESUMEN
During the early stages of diabetes, kidney oxygen utilization increases. The mismatch between oxygen demand and supply contributes to tissue hypoxia, a key driver of chronic kidney disease. Thus, whole-organ renal metabolic rate of oxygen (rMRO2 ) is a potentially valuable biomarker of kidney function. The key parameters required to determine rMRO2 include the renal blood flow rate (RBF) in the feeding artery and oxygen saturation in the draining renal vein (SvO2 ). However, there is currently no noninvasive method to quantify rMRO2 in absolute physiologic units. Here, a new MRI pulse sequence, Kidney Metabolism of Oxygen via T2 and Interleaved Velocity Encoding (K-MOTIVE), is described, along with evaluation of its performance in the human kidney in vivo. K-MOTIVE interleaves a phase-contrast module before a background-suppressed T2 -prepared balanced steady-state-free-precession (bSSFP) readout to measure RBF and SvO2 in a single breath-hold period of 22 s, yielding rMRO2 via Fick's principle. Variants of K-MOTIVE to evaluate alternative bSSFP readout strategies were studied. Kidney mass was manually determined from multislice gradient recalled echo images. Healthy subjects were recruited to quantify rMRO2 of the left kidney at 3-T field strength (N = 15). Assessments of repeat reproducibility and comparisons with individual measurements of RBF and SvO2 were performed, and the method's sensitivity was evaluated with a high-protein meal challenge (N = 8). K-MOTIVE yielded the following metabolic parameters: T2 = 157 ± 19 ms; SvO2 = 92% ± 6%; RBF = 400 ± 110 mL/min; and rMRO2 = 114 ± 117(µmol O2 /min)/100 g tissue. Reproducibility studies of T2 and RBF (parameters directly measured by K-MOTIVE) resulted in coefficients of variation less than 10% and intraclass correlation coefficients more than 0.75. The high-protein meal elicited an increase in rMRO2 , which was corroborated by serum biomarkers. The K-MOTIVE sequence measures SvO2 and RBF, the parameters necessary to quantify whole-organ rMRO2 , in a single breath-hold. The present work demonstrates that rMRO2 quantification is feasible with good reproducibility. rMRO2 is a potentially valuable physiological biomarker.

It has been proposed that diuretics can improve renal tissue oxygenation through inhibition of tubular sodium reabsorption and reduced metabolic demand. However, the impact of clinically used diuretic drugs on the renal cortical and medullary microcirculation is unclear. Therefore, we examined the effects of three commonly used diuretics, at clinically relevant doses, on renal cortical and medullary perfusion and oxygenation in non-anaesthetised healthy sheep. Merino ewes received acetazolamide (250 mg; n = 9), furosemide (20 mg; n = 10) or amiloride (10 mg; n = 7) intravenously. Systemic and renal haemodynamics, renal cortical and medullary tissue perfusion and P O 2 ${P_{{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}$ , and renal function were then monitored for up to 8 h post-treatment. The peak diuretic response occurred 2 h (99.4 ± 14.8 mL/h) after acetazolamide, at which stage cortical and medullary tissue perfusion and P O 2 ${P_{{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}$ were not significantly different from their baseline levels. The peak diuretic response to furosemide occurred at 1 h (196.5 ± 12.3 mL/h) post-treatment but there were no significant changes in cortical and medullary tissue oxygenation during this period. However, cortical tissue P O 2 ${P_{{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}$ fell from 40.1 ± 3.8 mmHg at baseline to 17.2 ± 4.4 mmHg at 3 h and to 20.5 ± 5.3 mmHg at 6 h after furosemide administration. Amiloride did not produce a diuretic response and was not associated with significant changes in cortical or medullary tissue oxygenation. In conclusion, clinically relevant doses of diuretic agents did not improve regional renal tissue oxygenation in healthy animals during the 8 h experimentation period. On the contrary, rebound renal cortical hypoxia may develop after dissipation of furosemide-induced diuresis.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic hypoxia is prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and blood oxygenation level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI) provides noninvasive evaluation of renal oxygenation. This study aimed to explore the correlation of renal oxygenation evaluated by BOLD-MRI with renal function. METHODS: 97 non-dialysis patients with CKD stages 1-5 and healthy volunteers (HVs) were recruited in the study, all participants without diabetes. Based on their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the patients were divided into two groups: CKD stages 1-3 (CKD 1-3) and CKD stages 4-5 (CKD 4-5). We measured cortical and medullary T2* (COT2* and MET2*) values in all participants by BOLD-MRI. Physiological indices were also recorded and compared among three groups. Correlation of T2* values with clinical characteristics was determined. RESULTS: The COT2* values were significantly higher than MET2* values in all participants. The COT2* and MET2* values of three groups were ranked as HV > CKD 1-3> CKD 4-5 (p < 0.0001). There were positive correlations between the COT2* values, MET2* values and eGFR, hemoglobin (r > 0.4, p < 0.01). The 24-h urinary protein (24-h Upr) showed weak correlation with the COT2* value (rs = -0.2301, p = 0.0265) and no correlation with the MET2* value (p > 0.05). Urinary microprotein, including urinary alpha1-microglobulin, urinary beta2-microglobulin (ß2-MG), and urinary retinol-binding protein (RBP), showed strong correlation with COT2* and MET2* values. According to the analysis of receiver operating characteristic curve, the optimal cut-points between HV and CKD 1-3 were "<61.17 ms" (sensitivity: 91.23%, specificity: 100%) for COT2* values and "<35.00 ms" (sensitivity: 77.19%, specificity: 100%) for MET2* values, whereas COT2* values ("<47.34 ms"; sensitivity: 90.00%, specificity: 92.98%) and MET2* values ("<25.09 ms"; sensitivity: 97.50%, specificity: 80.70%) between CKD 1-3 and CKD 4-5. CONCLUSION: The decline of renal oxygenation reflected on T2* values, especially in cortex, may be an effective diagnostic marker for early detection of CKD.

BACKGROUND: Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is the measuring of regional tissue oxygenation (rSO2) by interpreting oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin signals that come back by transmitting near infrared light to tissues. The effect of endourological interventions on renal perfusion in children is largely unknown. AIMS: To evaluate the effects of endoscopic injection of bulking agents (EIBA) for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) on renal oxygenation (RO) using renal NIRS monitoring, which shows renal perfusion and oxygenation changes. STUDY DESIGN: Case-control study. METHODS: Group I had bilateral inguinal surgery, Group II cystoscopy, and Group III, EIBA for VUR with 30 patients in each group. During the operation, vital signs, peripheral oxygen saturation, end-tidal carbon dioxide, and renal regional oxygen saturation index (rSO2) values by bilateral renal NIRS monitoring were recorded. NIRS values before induction (T0) to postoperative (Tend) were determined. A 20% or more reduction in renal rSO2 (%20↓rSO2) was considered significant. Group III was also evaluated as subgroup III-A (not having "%20↓rSO2") and subgroup III-B ("%20↓rSO2"). RESULTS: The rSO2 decrease was observed in the first 5 min for both sides in group III. The most significant drop was at T30 for the right kidney and a significant decrease in rSO2, 20% or more, was observed in 6 renal units of 4 patients having higher SFU grading and renal scar in group III. CONCLUSION: EIBA may transitionally impair renal oxygenation. Higher SFU grading and renal scar may increase the risk of renal hypoxia during EIBA.

Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are at risk of developing postoperative renal impairment, amongst others caused by renal ischemia and hypoxia. Intra-operative monitoring of renal region tissue oxygenation (SrtO2) might be a useful tool to detect renal hypoxia and predict postoperative renal impairment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the ability of intra-operative SrtO2 to predict postoperative renal impairment, defined as an increase of serum creatinine concentrations of > 10% from individual baseline, and compare this with the predictive abilities of peripheral and cerebral tissue oxygenation (SptO2 and SctO2, respectively) and renal specific tissue deoxygenation. Forty-one patients undergoing elective CABG were included. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to measure renal region, peripheral (thenar muscle) and cerebral tissue oxygenation during surgery. Renal region specific tissue deoxygenation was defined as a proportionally larger decrease in SrtO2 than SptO2. ROC analyses were used to compare predictive abilities. We did not observe an association between tissue oxygenation measured in the renal region and cerebral oxygenation and postoperative renal impairment in this small retrospective study. In contrast, SptO2 decrease > 10% from baseline was a reasonable predictor with an AUROC of 0.767 (95%CI 0.619 to 0.14; p = 0.010). Tissue oxygenation of the renal region, although non-invasively and continuously available, cannot be used in adults to predict postoperative renal impairment after CABG. Instead, peripheral tissue deoxygenation was able to predict postoperative renal impairment, suggesting that SptO2 provides a better indication of 'general' tissue oxygenation status.Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01347827, first submitted April 27, 2011.

Background and objective: Hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) can cause ductal steal and contribute to poor outcomes in preterm infants. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) allows us to continuously evaluate regional tissue oxygenation (rSpO2) and perfusion changes in underlying organs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of medical treatment for hsPDA on cerebral and renal rSpO2 in infants less than 32 weeks of gestational age, and older than 72 h of life. Materials and methods: Infants with a gestational age of <32 weeks with hsPDA were prospectively studied before and during medical treatment. Two-site (cerebral and renal) rSpO2 monitoring by NIRS was performed 1 h before treatment (T0) and 24 h (T1), 24−48 h (T2), 48−72 h (T3) after the infusion of the first drug dose. Results: A total of 21 infants were studied. The mean day of life at treatment initiation was 8.2 (SD, 2.75). The DA diameter, LA/Ao ratio, and resistive index in the anterior cerebral artery (RI ACA) were significantly lower after treatment (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in cerebral rSpO2, cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE), and SpO2 comparing different time points. A significantly higher renal SpO2 value was recorded at T2 as compared with T0 (75.0%, SD 4.9%, vs. 69.4%, SD 7.6%; p < 0.013), while for renal FTOE, a tendency to lower values at T2 was observed (0.18, SD 0.05, vs. 0.24, SD 0.09; p = 0.068). Conclusions: Late (later than 7 days postpartum) hsPDA medical treatment with paracetamol or ibuprofen completely closed the duct only in a small proportion of preterm infants, despite a statistically significant reduction in the DA diameter, LA/Ao ratio, and RI ACA. Continuous renal, not cerebral, NIRS measurements can help to anticipate the efficacy of medical treatment of hsPDA in preterm infants. Large-scale prospective studies are needed to ascertain that renal and cerebral NIRS can be used as a reliable tool for evaluating the effectiveness of medical treatment for hsPDA.

BACKGROUND: : Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring demonstrates renal blood flow, perfusion, and oxygenation changes. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of pediatric endourological interventions (PEI) on regional oxygen saturation value (rSO2) usingrenal NIRS monitoring. METHODS: Patients having bilateral inguinal surgery (group I), cystoscopy (group II), and ureterorenoscopy (group III), 20 patients in each group, were included in the study. NIRS values before induction (T0) and at 5 min (T5), 10 min (T10), 15 min (T15), 20 min (T20), 25 min (T25), 30 min (T30) of the surgical procedure, and at the postextubation (Tend) were determined. The amount of irrigation fluid was recorded in groups II and III. The ureterorenoscopy group was also evaluated as two subgroups, as group III-R with patients having a "20%↓rSO2" and as group III-NoR, not having a "20%↓rSO2". RESULTS: The mean total volume of irrigation was higher in group III, but the difference was not significant between the subgroups III-R and III-NoR. Renal rSO2 decreased significantly in T25, T30, and T-end values in group III. "20%↓rSO2" was seen in 1 patient in group II and 7 patients in group III. In the subgroups III-R, all patients had an obstructive pathology and significant preoperative hydronephrosis with a mean renal pelvis AP diameter of 21.1 ± 16.4 mm. DISCUSSION: Although rSO2 significantly improves postoperatively, our data may suggest that congenital and acquired obstructive pathologies with hydronephrosis, prolonged operative time with continuous irrigation, and instrument movement in a narrow lumen may increase intrarenal pressure and the risk of renal hypoxia in endourological interventions. Preoperative evaluation of kidney functions and a meticulously well-planned intervention can prevent possible complications.

BACKGROUND: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is common among preterm neonates. Haemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) can cause ductal steal and contribute to poor outcomes. Our aim was to evaluate ductus arteriosus patency and significance using two-site near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements in preterm infants older than 72 h as a supplemental tool to echocardiography. METHODS: In this prospective observational study, 123 preterm infants (gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks, birth weight < 1500 g) were enrolled. Sixty-four newborns had closed ductus arteriosus (noPDA), and 41 and 18 patients were assigned to the PDA and hsPDA groups, respectively, per predefined echocardiographic criteria. Cerebral and renal oxygenation were assessed during NIRS monitoring. RESULTS: A higher renal mean (±SD) regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSpO2) (76.7 (±7.64)) was detected in the noPDA group than in the PDA (71.7 (±9.02)) and hsPDA (67.4 (±13.48)) groups (p < 0.001). Renal fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) (0.18 (±0.079)) was lower in the noPDA group than in the PDA (0.23 (±0.092)) and hsPDA (0.24 (±0.117))0.117 groups (p = 0.002). Cerebral oxygenation was significantly lower in the hsPDA group (77.0 (±5.16)) than in the noPDA (79.3 (±2.45)) and PDA (79.7 (±2.27)) groups (p = 0.004). There was no significant difference in cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) between any of the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that renal oxygenation is affected by ductus patency in preterm infants older than 72 h. Significant differences in cerebral oxygenation were observed between the hsPDA group and the PDA and noPDA groups. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04295395.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To study the condition of renal oxygenation (RrSO2) and fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) in the kidneys of premature infants with HSPDA. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: 74 preterm newborns (gestational age 29-36 weeks) were divided into three groups: Ð - 40 children with HSPDA, ÐÐ - 17 children with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) without hemodynamic disorders, ÐÐÐ - 17 children with closed ductus arteriosus. Renal oxygen saturation (RrSO2) was assessed during the whole day on the first, third and tenth day of life with near-infrared spectroscopy. FTOE was calculated according to the formula: FTOE = (SpO2 - RrSO2)/SpO2. RESULTS: Results: With HSPDA on the first and third days of life, there was a significant decrease in RrSO2 and a significant increase in FTOE by the kidney tissue in comparison with children with PDA without hemodynamic disorders and children with a closed ductus arteriosus. The results obtained can be explained by the "phenomenon of the systemic circulation stealing" and the development of hypoperfusion, ischemia of the kidney tissues, which leads to an increase in the need for oxygen in the parenchyma.On the tenth day of life, premature infants who had HSPDA on the first day showed an increase in RrSO2 and a decrease in FTOE. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Non-invasive monitoring of renal oxygenation using can be used as a screening tool to identify the phenomenon of "ductal stealing" in HSPDA.

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum on cerebral and renal oxygenation and oxygen extraction, in a cohort of infants from the neonatal intensive care unit, undergoing laparoscopic gastrostomy. METHODS: After institutional review board approval, between February 2018 and June 2019, infants 0-3 mo corrected age, undergoing laparoscopic gastrostomy tube placement, were included. Strict exclusion criteria created a homogeneous cohort. Cerebral and renal tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) by near-infrared spectroscopy, skin surface oxygen saturation (SpO2), by pulse oximetry, and amplitude-integrated electroencephalography were measured. Monitoring was divided into preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative time periods. Cerebral and renal fractional tissue oxygen extraction was calculated using arterial (SpO2) and tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2): (SpO2-rSO2SpO2)X100. Data were averaged into one-minute epochs and significant changes from baseline during the intraoperative and postoperative periods were detected using one-way analysis of variance with repeated measures. RESULTS: This pilot study examined sixteen infants, born at a median gestational age of 34.2 wk (range: 23.0-40.6) with a median corrected age of 42.9 wk (range: 40.0-46.3) at operation. None had seizure activity or altered sleep-wake cycles. No statistically significant variations in cerebral and renal tissue oxygenation and extraction were observed. Pulse oximetry did demonstrate significant variation from baseline on analysis of variance, but post hoc analysis did not identify any one specific time point at which this difference was significant. CONCLUSIONS: During a short infant laparoscopic procedure, no significant alteration in cerebral or renal oxygenation or oxygen extraction was observed. No seizure activity or changes in infant sleep-wake cycles occurred.

BACKGROUND: Anaesthesia-induced changes in renal perfusion are dependent on the choice of anaesthetic agent. However, the effects of varying inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) on renal perfusion and oxygenation during TIVA (propofol + fentanyl) or volatile anaesthesia (VA; isoflurane) are unknown. METHODS: In 16 Merino ewes, we surgically implanted a renal artery flow probe and laser-Doppler and oxygen-sensing probes in the renal medulla and cortex. We compared the systemic and renal effects of graded alterations in FiO2 (0.21, 0.40, 0.60, and 1.0) during TIVA or VA and compared the changes with those in the non-anaesthetised state. RESULTS: Compared with the non-anaesthetised state, TIVA and VA decreased renal blood flow (-50% vs -75%), renal oxygen delivery (-50% vs -80%), and renal cortical (-40% vs -60%) and medullary perfusion (-50% vs -75%). At an FiO2 of 0.21, both anaesthetic regimens induced similar reductions in cortical (-58 vs -65%) and medullary (-37% vs -38%) oxygenation. At higher concentrations of FiO2, renal blood flow and renal tissue perfusion were not changed, but intrarenal oxygenation improved similarly under TIVA and VA. In particular, at an FiO2 of ≥0.40 and ≤0.60, cortical and medullary oxygen tension were similar to the non-anaesthetised state. CONCLUSIONS: Irrespective of FiO2, TIVA decreased renal and intrarenal perfusion less than VA, but at low FiO2 concentrations both led to equivalent reductions in renal cortical and medullary oxygenation. However, with FiO2 between 0.40 and 0.60 during TIVA or VA, both cortical and medullary oxygenation was maintained at normal physiological levels.

BACKGROUND: Renal hypoxia is considered a final pathway in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Blood-oxygen-level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI) has shown merit for evaluating renal oxygenation in adults. OBJECTIVE: To investigate renal cortical and medullary R2* values by CKD stage and by renal function index in children with chronic kidney disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-one children with CKD Stage 1-3, 16 children with CKD Stage 4-5, and 6 healthy volunteers underwent a renal MRI using multigradient recalled-echo sequence with 16 echoes. We measured the R2* values of the renal cortex and medulla on BOLD-MRI. RESULTS: The cortical R2* value was ranked as CKD Stage 4-5 > CKD Stage 1-3 > healthy controls, and the medullary R2* value was ranked as CKD Stage 4-5 > CKD Stage 1-3. There was no significant difference in the medullary R2* value between CKD Stage 1-3 patients and the healthy controls. There was a positive correlation between the R2* values in the renal cortex (r=0.73) and medulla (r=0.89), and the serum creatinine level (P<0.001), and the renal cortical and medullary R2* values were negatively correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (r=-0.71 and r=-0.89, respectively; P<0.001). CONCLUSION: BOLD-MRI might contribute to noninvasive assessment of renal oxygenation in children with CKD in vivo but it did not reflect renal function in our sample.

PURPOSE: Increased intraabdominal pressure IAP may reduce renal blood flow (RBF). The study aims to evaluate the pneumoperitoneum effect on RBF by comparing renal regional oxygen saturation index (rSrO2) measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in pediatric patients having laparotomy and laparoscopy. METHODS: Of 58 patients having laparoscopy and laparotomy, 18 were excluded due to renal pathologies, combined open surgical procedures, and administration of inotropic drugs. Hemodynamic parameters and rSrO2 were recorded in laparoscopy (n = 20) and laparotomy (n = 20) groups before induction and with 5 min intervals up to 60 min and at post-extubation. RESULTS: Decrease in right renal rSrO2 at 45th and 60th min and 30th, 45th and 60th min in left were significant in the laparoscopy group compared to laparotomy group. In the laparoscopy group, reductions at T25, T30, T45, and T60 were significant in both renal rSrO2. Renal rSO2 increased to normal with desufflation. CONCLUSION: IAP with pneumoperitoneum may lead to renal hypoxia in children. Renal rSO2 returns to normal with desufflation. Renal NIRS monitorization might be needed in patients with renal parenchymal and vascular pathologies, solitary kidney, and multiorgan pathologies that may affect renal oxygenation.

Kidney normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has historically used a 95% O2-5% CO2 gas mixture. Using a porcine model of organ retrieval, NMP, and reperfusion, we tested the hypothesis that reducing perfusate oxygenation ( PpO2 ) would be detrimental to renal function and cause injury. In the minimal ischemic injury experiment, kidneys sustained 10 min of warm ischemia and 2 h of static cold storage before 1 h of NMP with either 95%, 25%, or 12% O2 with 5% CO2 and N2 balance. In the clinical injury experiment, kidneys with 10-min warm ischemia and 17-h static cold storage underwent 1-h NMP with the above gas combinations or 18-h static cold storage as a control. They were then reperfused with whole blood and 95% O2 for 3 h. Overall, reducing PpO2 did not significantly influence renal function in either experiment. Furthermore, there were no differences in the injury markers urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin or tissue high-motility group box protein 1. In the minimal ischemic injury experiment, a PpO2 of 25% significantly reduced renal blood flow and increased vascular resistance. Oxygen delivery, consumption, and extraction (oxygen extraction ratio) were significantly greater at 95% PpO2 . In the clinical injury experiment, renal blood flow was significantly increased at 25% PpO2 and Na+ excretion decreased. At 95% PpO2 , the oxygen content and oxygen extraction ratio were significantly increased. During reperfusion, renal blood flow was significantly increased in the 25% group. The control group pH was significantly decreased compared with the 25% group. Our data suggest that reducing PpO2 during NMP does not have detrimental effects on renal function or markers of injury.

We have previously developed a three-dimensional computational model of oxygen transport in the renal medulla. In the present study, we used this model to quantify the sensitivity of renal medullary oxygenation to four of its major known determinants: medullary blood flow (MBF), medullary oxygen consumption rate (VÌo2,M), hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in the blood, and renal perfusion pressure. We also examined medullary oxygenation under special conditions of hydropenia, extracellular fluid volume expansion by infusion of isotonic saline, and hemodilution during cardiopulmonary bypass. Under baseline (normal) conditions, the average medullary tissue Po2 predicted for the whole renal medulla was ~30 mmHg. The periphery of the interbundle region in the outer medulla was identified as the most hypoxic region in the renal medulla, which demonstrates that the model prediction is qualitatively accurate. Medullary oxygenation was most sensitive to changes in renal perfusion pressure followed by Hb, MBF, and VÌo2,M, in that order. The medullary oxygenation also became sensitized by prohypoxic changes in other parameters, leading to a greater fall in medullary tissue Po2 when multiple parameters changed simultaneously. Hydropenia did not induce a significant change in medullary oxygenation compared with the baseline state, while volume expansion resulted in a large increase in inner medulla tissue Po2 (by ~15 mmHg). Under conditions of cardiopulmonary bypass, the renal medulla became severely hypoxic, due to hemodilution, with one-third of the outer stripe of outer medulla tissue having a Po2 of <5 mmHg.

The renal medulla is prone to hypoxia. Medullary hypoxia is postulated to be a leading cause of acute kidney injury, so there is considerable interest in predicting the oxygen tension in the medulla. Therefore we have developed a computational model for blood and oxygen transport within a physiologically normal rat renal medulla, using a multilevel modeling approach. For the top-level model we use the theory of porous media and advection-dispersion transport through a realistic three-dimensional representation of the medulla's gross anatomy to describe blood flow and oxygen transport throughout the renal medulla. For the lower-level models, we employ two-dimensional reaction-diffusion models describing the distribution of oxygen through tissue surrounding the vasculature. Steady-state model predictions at the two levels are satisfied simultaneously, through iteration between the levels. The computational model was validated by simulating eight sets of experimental data regarding renal oxygenation in rats (using 4 sets of control groups and 4 sets of treatment groups, described in 4 independent publications). Predicted medullary tissue oxygen tension or microvascular oxygen tension for control groups and for treatment groups that underwent moderate perturbation in hemodynamic and renal functions is within ±2 SE values observed experimentally. Diffusive shunting between descending and ascending vasa recta is predicted to be only 3% of the oxygen delivered. The validation tests confirm that the computational model is robust and capable of capturing the behavior of renal medullary oxygenation in both normal and early-stage pathological states in the rat.

To assess the physiological significance of arterial-to-venous (AV) oxygen shunting, we generated a new pseudo-three-dimensional computational model of oxygen diffusion from intrarenal arteries to cortical tissue and veins. The model combines the 11 branching levels (known as "Strahler" orders) of the preglomerular renal vasculature in the rat, with an analysis of an extensive data set obtained using light microscopy to estimate oxygen mass transfer coefficients for each Strahler order. Furthermore, the AV shunting model is now set within a global oxygen transport model that includes transport from arteries, glomeruli, peritubular capillaries, and veins to tissue. While a number of lines of evidence suggest AV shunting is significant, most importantly, our AV oxygen shunting model predicts AV shunting is small under normal physiological conditions (~0.9% of total renal oxygen delivery; range 0.4-1.4%), but increases during renal ischemia, glomerular hyperfiltration (~2.1% of total renal oxygen delivery; range 0.84-3.36%), and some cardiovascular disease states (~3.0% of total renal oxygen delivery; range 1.2-4.8%). Under normal physiological conditions, blood Po2 is predicted to fall by ~16 mmHg from the root of the renal artery to glomerular entry, with AV oxygen shunting contributing ~40% and oxygen diffusion from arteries to tissue contributing ~60% of this decline. Arterial Po2 is predicted to fall most rapidly from Strahler order 4, under normal physiological conditions. We conclude that AV oxygen shunting normally has only a small impact on renal oxygenation, but may exacerbate renal hypoxia during renal ischemia, hyperfiltration, and some cardiovascular disease states.

We develop a pseudo-three-dimensional model of oxygen transport for the renal cortex of the rat, incorporating both the axial and radial geometry of the preglomerular circulation and quantitative information regarding the surface areas and transport from the vasculature and renal corpuscles. The computational model was validated by simulating four sets of published experimental studies of renal oxygenation in rats. Under the control conditions, the predicted cortical tissue oxygen tension ([Formula: see text]) or microvascular oxygen tension (µPo2) were within ±1 SE of the mean value observed experimentally. The predicted [Formula: see text] or µPo2 in response to ischemia-reperfusion injury, acute hemodilution, blockade of nitric oxide synthase, or uncoupling mitochondrial respiration, were within ±2 SE observed experimentally. We performed a sensitivity analysis of the key model parameters to assess their individual or combined impact on the predicted [Formula: see text] and µPo2 The model parameters analyzed were as follows: 1) the major determinants of renal oxygen delivery ([Formula: see text]) (arterial blood Po2, hemoglobin concentration, and renal blood flow); 2) the major determinants of renal oxygen consumption (VÌo2) [glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the efficiency of oxygen utilization for sodium reabsorption (ß)]; and 3) peritubular capillary surface area (PCSA). Reductions in PCSA by 50% were found to profoundly increase the sensitivity of [Formula: see text] and µPo2 to the major the determinants of [Formula: see text] and VÌo2 The increasing likelihood of hypoxia with decreasing PCSA provides a potential explanation for the increased risk of acute kidney injury in some experimental animals and for patients with chronic kidney disease.

PURPOSE: To present an image registration method for renal blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) measurements that enables semiautomatic assessment of parenchymal and medullary R2* changes under a functional challenge. METHODS: In a series of breath-hold acquisitions, three-dimensional data were acquired initially for prospective image registration of subsequent BOLD measurements. An algorithm for kidney alignment for BOLD renal imaging (KALIBRI) was implemented to detect the positions of the left and right kidney so that the kidneys were acquired in the subsequent BOLD measurement at consistent anatomical locations. Residual in-plane distortions were corrected retrospectively so that semiautomatic dynamic R2* measurements of the renal cortex and medulla become feasible. KALIBRI was tested in six healthy volunteers during a series of BOLD experiments, which included a 600- to 1000-mL water challenge. RESULTS: Prospective image registration and BOLD imaging of each kidney was achieved within a total measurement time of about 17 s, enabling its execution within a single breath-hold. KALIBRI improved the registration by up to 35% as found with mutual information measures. In four volunteers, a medullary R2* decrease of up to 40% was observed after water ingestion. CONCLUSION: KALIBRI improves the quality of two-dimensional time-resolved renal BOLD MRI by aligning local renal anatomy, which allows for consistent R2* measurements over many breath-holds.
