Acute hyperglycemia increases renal tissue oxygenation as measured by BOLD-MRI in healthy overweight volunteers

Animal studies have suggested that acute hyperglycemia induces transient renal hypoxia and kidney damage, yet this has not been tested in humans. Therefore, we assessed in human subjects the effect of acute hyperglycemia on renal tissue oxygenation as measured with blood oxygenation level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI).
