[Abstract] Objective: To determine the relationship between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the kidney measured by diffusion-weighted MR imaging and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).Materials and Methods: A total of 627 adult patients in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, apply for kidney DWI examination in our hospital between January 2013 and May 2015. Regions of interests (ROIs) were manually delineated in the parenchyma as large as possible at the level of the middle portion of the bilateral kidneys. The eGFR was calculated by an equation based on serum creatinine level. The patients were divided into 3 groups: eGFR< 30 mL/min/1.73m2; 30 mL/min/1.73 m2≤eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2; and eGFR≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2. Differences between the 3 groups respect to the mean renal ADCs and the correlation of the renal ADC value and eGFR were analyzed.Results: The mean ADC values of the 3 groups were (1.72±0.10)×10-3 mm2/s for the group with eGFR< 30 mL/min/1.73 m2; (1.88±0.16)×10-3 mm2/s for those with 30 mL/min/1.73m2≤eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73m2; and (1.90±0.16)×10-3 mm2/s for those with eGFR≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2. There was statistically significant difference in renal ADCs among the 3 groups (F=81.24, P<0.001). The ADC of kidney showed positive linear correlation with eGFR (r=0.613, P<0.05).Conclusion: ADC values can reflect kidney filtration function to some extent. DWI may be useful to evaluate renal function.
