Table 1.

Mean values and standard deviation of the ADC and FA of the left and right kidneys in the control group

	Cortex	Medulla	P
ADC (x 10−3 mm2/s)
Right kidney	2.54 ± 0.07	2.29 ± 0.01	0.001
Left kidney	2.53 ± 0.02	2.18 ± 0.02	0.0002
p	0.89	0.17
FA
Right kidney	0.30 ± 0.07	0.39 ± 0.07	<0.001
Left kidney	0.29 ± 0.06	0.38 ± 0.06	<0.001
p	0.58	0.81

ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; FA, fractional anisotropy.

A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
