Radiology Test Non-Invasively Diagnoses Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated AKI
A study exploring the use of a nuclear imaging technique to identify immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated acute kidney injury without invasive biopsies, has shown that such patients exhibit significantly higher levels of radioactively labeled glucose in the kidneys compared to those with AKI from other causes.
