MRI
DeviceMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology that produces three dimensional detailed anatomical images. Patients will be subjected to MRI scans and imaging of the kidneys and liver
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of increase perirenal fat thickness in CKD patients with fatty liver disease. Perirenal fat thickness measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pelvic abdominal ultrasound (PAUS).
Correlation between perirenal fat thickness measured by MRI and PAUS and the main markers of kidney function, such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albuminuria and serum urate in CKD patient with FLD.
