Unit is ml/g/min.

*^aunit converted to ml/g/min with 1 g/ml density.

*^brat models were used in RPF measurements. Five of the six rats had a unilateral ischaemic AKI and total seven healthy kidneys were included in the calculation of mean RPF.

*^carterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI.

*^ddynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI.
