[Abstract] Chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by high incidence, poor health outcomes and high treatment costs, imposes a huge burden on individuals and society. Renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis and renal medulla hypoxia are believed to be the main causes of CKD progression. At present, ultrasound-guided renal biopsy is the gold standard for the evaluation and diagnosis of renal fibrosis. However, it is difficult to carry out follow-up monitoring in clinical practice because it is an invasive test with certain side effects and poor repeatability. MRI can provide information about tissue structure noninvasively, and advances in MRI functional imaging techniques offer promise for unique insights into renal function and fibrosis severity, but its potential to assess fibrosis and inflammation in diseased kidneys remains unclear. This paper reviews the research progress of functional magnetic resonance imagingin the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease.
