Prospective study evaluates arterial spin labelling and blood oxygen level dependent MRI, highlighting renal function impact.

Donor renal function remained stable with no significant changes in ASL values at 0, 3, and 6 months post-donation.
Recipients demonstrated a significant reduction in cortical perfusion after kidney transplantation, impacting long-term function.
Arterial spin labelling and BOLD MRI showed high diagnostic accuracy for assessing renal function post-transplant, indicating potential utility.
These noninvasive methods may enable early detection of renal impairment in kidney transplant donor-recipient pairs.

Zakaria et al. (2025) studied this question.
