Abstract
Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in several disease states, including hypovolemic shock, sepsis, surgery. Imbalance in energy metabolism and mitochondrial function is a hallmark in IRI which can be caused by mechanisms like oxidative stress, apoptosis and inflammation. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity has previously been suggested as a renal tubular injury marker, but has a major limitation in the sense that it can only be measured in terminal kidneys. By the use of a hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach to monitor metabolic changes, we here investigate LDH activity and renal metabolism after IRI. This procedure gives a novel non-invasive method for investigation renal tissue injury in concern with IRI.
