Brief description of study
PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION:
The purpose of this study is to measure how much oxygen is used by the kidneys. The kidneys play an important role in removing waste products from the body. In people with chronic kidney disease and diabetes, the kidneys do not function normally and have changes in oxygen consumption. We will test if the amount of oxygen used is different among healthy people, people with prediabetes, and people with diabetes. This will be done with a new MRI technique that measures the oxygen content of blood in the renal vein, which drains blood from the kidneys. MRI is an examination that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Using the pictures created by the MRI, we will calculate how much oxygen is used by the kidneys. This study will help us better understand how the kidneys use oxygen during the early stages of kidney disease
