The use of gallium-67 scintigraphy in the diagnosis of acute interstitial nephritis.
BACKGROUND Gallium-67 scintigraphy has been suggested as a noninvasive method to diagnose acute interstitial nephritis (AIN). However, its diagnostic performance and usefulness remain controversial. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 76 patients who underwent gallium-67 scintigraphy for a suspicion of AIN. Patients were classified based on kidney biopsy and/or clinical probabil...
متن کاملAcute Tubular Necrosis and Interstitial Nephritis during Pemetrexed Therapy
We report a patient with unknown primary undifferentiated carcinoma who developed acute renal failure associated with interstitial fibrosis following pemetrexed therapy. Despite drug withdrawal, renal function remained altered and the patient experienced chronic renal insufficiency. Pemetrexed disodium (Alimta) is a multitargeted antifolate agent approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FD...
متن کامل[Mercaptoacetyltriglycine renal scan for the differential diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis and interstitial nephritis associated to vancomycin].
The differential diagnosis of vancomycin associated renal toxicity includes acute tubular necrosis and interstitial nephritis. We report a case of vancomycin induced renal toxicity shown by Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine renal scan. Nephrotoxicity was evolved secondary to vancomycin used for treating a patient with meningitis. Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine renal scan may play a role in diffe...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of acute tubular necrosis.
BACKGROUND Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is common in hospitalized patients, particularly in the intensive care unit.
