Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

COHORT 1

• Is going to receive or has received MULTIHANCE injection during an MRI examination;

• Provides written informed consent and is willing to comply with protocol requirements.

OR

COHORT 2

• Is going to receive or has received MULTIHANCE injection during an MRI examination;

• Has CKD with eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73m2, as calculated from a SCr value obtained from the local laboratory within 24 hours prior to the MULTIHANCE injection.

• Provides written informed consent and is willing to comply with protocol requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

COHORT 1
