Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Medullary Sponge Kidney

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Medullary Sponge Kidney
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Multiparametic MRI
Registration Number
NCT05682053
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Background :

Medullary sponge kidney disease is a congenital disorder caracterised by tubular ectasia and cystic dilatation of the collecting ducts in the pericalyceal region of the renal pyramids, which can lead to nephrolithiasis and frequently associated with impaired tubular function such as distal renal tubular acidosis.

The disease knowledge is limited, especially about origin, diagnosis, and physiopathology of the disease.

The disease is associated with impaired tubular function such as distal renal tubular acidosis, hypocitraturia, hypercalciuria, which suggest altered kidney medulla function.

Multiparametric MRI may provide further informations about the physiopathology and help in earlier diagnosis of the medullary sponge kidney.

Objective :

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that early kidney medulla function alteration in medullary sponge kidney can be detected and characterised with multiparametric MRI. We are expecting to see in medullary sponge kidney a decreased oxygenation content in BOLD MRI (Blood oxygenation level dependent magnetic resonance imaging), and decreased ADC (Apparent diffusion coefficient) value in the medulla.

Design :

A monocentric prospective case/control study will be conducted in adults with medullary sponge kidney. Controls are adults patients with glomerular filtration rate \> 60 mL/min/1.73m2 without kidney stone attending a renal exploration.

After a screening visit, patients included will be evaluated on one day with lithiasis assessment and measurement of glomerular filtration (Urinary collection of the last 24 hours, Urine sample, Blood sample) and they will perform multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging of the kidneys.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparaison of R2* values measured by BOLD MRI beetween medullary sponge kidney patients and controls.Day 0

Comparaison of R2\* values measured by BOLD MRI between medullary sponge kidney patients and controls.

R2\* is related to the level of tissue deoxyhemoglobin, which reflect tissue oxygenation.

Increases in its outcome measure R2\* (transverse relaxation rate expressed as per second) correspond to higher deoxyhaemoglobin concentrations and suggest lower oxygenation, whereas decreases in R2\* indicate higher oxygenation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparaison of ADC value measured by diffusion-weighted MRI beetween medullary sponge kidney patients and controls.Day 0

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a non-invasive method sensitive to local water motion in the tissue, which is particularly sensitive to alterations in the renal interstitium, e.g. during renal fibrosis
