Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive method for assessing soft tissues with high spatial resolution, excellent contrast between structures, enhances the differentiation between tissues and allows for dynamic evaluation during their passage or accumulation in a particular region of the body. Paramagnetic gadolinium complexes (CPGd) are the most widely used contrast agents in …

Abstract
The acute kidney injury (AKI) can be defined as a sudden loss of renal function. AKI was considered as completely reversible, however recent studies have shown that the structure and renal function do not recover totally, and it is can contribute to chronic renal diseases development. It has been shown that overload of dietary sodium administered after renal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R)…
