The purpose was to explore if quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) can assess renal fibrosis about early diabetic nephropathy (DN) in type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Susceptibility maps of both kidneys for DN stage Ⅰ(a), Ⅱ(b) and Ⅲ(c). As the stage of DN increased, the medulla showed stronger diamagnetic value. However, there was no significant changes in the cortex.
