Detection of Renal Hypoxia in Lupus Nephritis Using Blood Oxygen Level-Dependent MR Imaging: A Multiple Correspondence Analysis

Conclusions: The extent of renal hypoxia in patients with LN was more serious compared with the healthy volunteers. Differentiated mechanisms of renal oxygenation are possibly involved in proliferative and non-proliferative LN patients. R2* values may be linked with multiple clinical and pathological indexes.Kidney Blood Press Res 2017;42:123 –135
