31P MR Spectroscopy of Human Kidney Grafts Monitoring of MR parameters of human grafts and their comparison with clinical parameters of patients
 Vyhnanovská, Pavlína ; Hájek, Milan (advisor) ; Teplan, Vladimír (referee) ; Mechl, Marek (referee)
The aim of this work was to evaluate the possibility of using in vivo phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) for diagnosis of kidney graft dysfunction after transplantation. In vivo 31P MRS is noninvasive imaging method which make possible to assess energy metabolism. A total of 68 patients with kidney grafts were examined on a 1.5T MR scanner. 31P MRS was performed using the 2D-chemical shift imaging method. The patients were divided into four groups: acute rejection; acute tubular necrosis; late graft dysfunction; and patients with good renal function after transplantation. We measured the signal intensities of phosphomonoesters (PME), inorganic phosphate (Pi), phosphodiesters (PDE) and -, -- adenosine triphosphate (with contribution of -, -adenosine diphosphate) and their ratios. Patients with acute rejection episodes showed significantly elevated PME/ß-ATP, PME/Pi and PDE/Pi signal ratios compared to the control group. The group with acute tubular necrosis has decreased these ratios: PDE/-ATP a PDE/Pi compared to the control group. Patients with late graft dysfunction revealed only significant decrease of PME/Pi ratio. The group of AR patients display higher ratios of PME/Pi and PDE/Pi compared to the group of ATN patients and display higher ratios of PME/Pi compared to the group of LGD....
