[Abstract] Renal fibrosis can lead to renal failure, it is a common outcome of end-stage chronic kidney disease, and the most common cause of kidney transplant failure. Therefore, the degree of renal fibrosis is closely related to the prognosis and patients. Although some methods can inspect renal fibrosis and renal insufficiency well, none of them can non-invasively detect renal fibrosis in vivo perfectly. Recently, more and more researches about renal fibrosis and renal insufficiency diagnosis by functional MRI were reported. This paper reviews and analyzes some functional MRI progresses about renal fibrosis in the past few years.
