Quality assessment of renal grafts via (31)P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been investigated since 1986. As ATP concentrations decay rapidly during cold ischemia, the ratio of phosphomonoesters (PME) to inorganic phosphate (Pi(O)) within the organ (PME/Pi(O)) is commonly used as a quality marker and is considered to be the most reliable parameter. MRS did not lead to any delay in the transplantation procedure since it was performed during the time necessary for immunological matching (cross-match). Differences in the time period until transplantation call for extrapolation of the measured ratio to the end of cold ischemia before correlating with graft performance after transplantation. Therefore, quantitative determination of PME/Pi(O) kinetics is essential. As a model for metabolite decay in human renal grafts, pig kidneys obtained from a slaughterhouse were monitored for up to 80 h via (31)P MRS at 2 T. By employing chemical shift imaging (CSI) with a spatial resolution of approximately 1 x 1 x 4 cm(3), it was possible to reduce partial volume effects significantly. The improved spectral resolution gained through CSI enabled reliable PME/Pi(O) ratios to be determined only from those voxels containing renal tissue. Spectra were fitted automatically using the magnetic resonance user interface (MRUI), with prior knowledge obtained from unlocalized spectra when necessary. A monoexponential time dependence of PME/Pi(O) for histidine-tryptophane-alpha-ketoglutarate (HTK)-perfused kidneys during cold ischemia was observed, and the determined value of the decay constant alpha was 0.0099 +/- 0.0012 h(-1). In University of Wisconsin solution (UW)-perfused kidneys, an alpha of 0.0183 +/- 0.0053 h(-1) was determined. Determination of the decay constant enables a usable extrapolation of PME/Pi(O) for quality assessment of UW perfusion and a reliable extrapolation for HTK-perfused human renal grafts.
