Imaging Kidney Fat & Function: Biomarkers for Understanding CKD

  • MRI-based measures of renal sinus and perirenal fat can be easily integrated into clinical trials
  • Imaging-based kidney biomarkers can provide additional mechanistic insights into disease pathophysiology, drug mode of action, and treatment effects
  • Imaging biomarkers can complement, not replace, existing established biomarkers to deepen understanding and progress development
