Core Tip Early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) facilitates timely treatment, and therefore, im­proves patient outcomes. Microalbuminuria (MAU), a standard biomarker of DN, has limited sensitivity and reproducibility. diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) quantifies the directional nature of water diffusion and is especially suited for highly oriented organs such as the kidney. DTI parameter changes were reported in several renal pathologic conditions. This study exhibited reductions of renal fractional anisotropy (FA) in diabetic patients, even with normoalbuminuria, which raises the possibility of detecting early DN with higher sensiti­vity than MAU. Furthermore, renal FA demonstrated statistical correlation with eGFR, making it a potential functional biomarker.
