New MRI scan could replace painful kidney biopsies for millions

First seen Feb 16, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special MRI scan can measure kidney scarring (fibrosis) in people with early chronic kidney disease (CKD). Currently, doctors use a needle biopsy to check for scarring, which is invasive and can miss patchy damage. Researchers will scan 200 adults with CKD and track their kidney function for two years to see if the MRI stiffness readings match disease progression. If successful, this could lead to a safer, simpler way to monitor kidney health.
