Alteration of 99mTc-DMSA biodistribution in glomerulonephritis.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the relation between (99m)Tc-DMSA biodistribution and its reliability as a marker of renal function in patients with glomerular kidney diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-seven patients involved in this study were classified into two groups according to (99m)Tc-DTPA clearance and serum creatinine values: the 1st group consisted of 42 patients wi...
متن کاملThe comparison between ultrasonography and 99mTc-DMSA renal scan in estimation of kidney size
Introduction: Renal length measurement is an important diagnostic clue in several urinary tract abnormalities. Although ultra sonography is the most frequent used modality for renal size estimation, renal diameter assessment by 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy is of great value. By now, pointing to the renal size in the 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy report has not been recommended by gui...
متن کاملReproducibility of renal length measurements with 99mTc-DMSA SPECT.
UNLABELLED Renal length measurements are used in evaluating several abnormalities of the pediatric genitourinary tract. This study assesses reproducibility of renal length measurements obtained with 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) SPECT. METHODS The lengths of 98 kidneys of 51 children (age range, 1-16 y; mean age, 5.4 y) who underwent 99mTc-DMSA SPECT were measured independently by 2 ob...
متن کاملUnilateral renal agenesis revealed by hydronephrosis of contralateral kidney and explored by 99mTc-DMSA and 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy
Renal scintigraphy is a physio-functional exploration permitting the exploration and assertion of unilateral renal agenesis. We report the case of a patient followed for a right hydronephrosis having revealed an agenesis of the contralateral kidney confirmed by 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy. Also 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy allowed the evaluation of the permeability of the urinary tract of the single rig...
متن کاملPancake kidney: An unusual type of renal fusion anomaly found in 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy
A 2.5-year-old boy with a history of the previous incidental finding of an ectopic kidney in ultrasonography was referred to our nuclear medicine center for 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy. The scan showed an unusual type of ectopic fused kidneys on the right side of the lower abdomen. In this anomaly, kidneys were fused completely across the medial portion of both upper and lower pole...
