Clinical Profiles and Outcomes of Renal Scarring in Children Underwent Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (DMSA) Renal Scan in A Tertiary Hospital

99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan in patients with established radiological renal scarring.

The findings on 99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scans were examined in 54 patients aged 3 to 33 years in whom renal scarring had been diagnosed radiologically in childhood after urinary tract infection. There was no recent history of infection. Vesicoureteric reflux had been present in 48 patients and had stopped in 23 at the time of the DMSA scan. In six of the 72 radiologically scarred k...

Frequency of Congenital Renal Anomalies by Tc99m- DMSA Renal Scan in Children Referred to Birjand Nuclear Medicine Center

Introduction: Tc99m-DMSA renal scan findings of this project was to study aimed to determine the frequency of congenital anomalies of the kidney. Obtain the spectrum of anomalies, can be used for future intervention studies. Using the experience gained from this study and future studies may be conducted and mitigation measures to achieve a specific distribution. Mater...

مقایسه یافته های اسکن DMSA و VCUG یا (Dimercaptosuccinic acid & Voiding cystourethrographic) در عفونت ادراری، بیمارستان بهرامی، 77-1374

Acute Pyelonephritis (APN) is one of the most common bacterial infections seen in children that may lead to renal scarring. Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is an important risk factor of renal damage but not the only one. Materials and Methods: In order to determine the association between dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphic and voiding cystourethrographic findings, a retrospective study w...

Early detection of renal scarring in children with suspected pyelonephritis: Comparison of diuretic MAG3 scintigraphy (F0) and DMSAScan

 Abstract Background: Screening for patients at risk of renal scarring is a challenge in children with acute pyelonephritis (APN). Diuretic Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) scintigraphy with zero time injection of furosemide (MAG3-F0) was observed to display focal parenchymal disorders. The advantages of MAG3 include: lower radiation dose and short duration of the test. The aim of this st...
