Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of our study is to investigate the diagnostic effectiveness of diffusion-oriented magnetic resonance imaging (DAG) in chronic kidney disease (CBH), detection of kidney functions. The study included a total of 124 people, including 74 chronic kidney patients and 50 healthy individuals. In both the patient and control group, the visible diffusion rate values (GDK) were measured using DAG from both the kidneys. The average GDK values were compared between the patient and the healthy group. Additionally, according to the KBH stages, the changes that may occur in the GDK values and the relationship between the glomerular filtration rate (GFH) and the GDK values was evaluated. In determining KBH, a ROC curve was arranged to investigate the diagnostic effectiveness of different edge GDK values. Results: GDK values in the KBH group were significantly lower compared to the healthy group, and a significant decline in GDK values was observed as the KBH stage progressed. There was also a strong positive correlation between GDK and GFH values (r=0.746, p <0.001).  According to the ROC analysis, the average edge GDK value for determining KBH was determined as <1.88 (x10-3mm2/s) (Extra Six Fields (EAAs): 0.766, 95% Confidence Range: 0.685-0.848, Sensitivity: 0.500, Selectivity: 0.960, p: <0.001). The result is that the GDK values obtained by DAG are effective in determining kidney functions and can be used in the tracking of kidney functions in KBH because it is a non-invasive imaging method.
