L-Carnitine Protection Against Cisplatin Nephrotoxicity In Rats: Comparison with Amifostin Using Quantitative Renal Tc 99m DMSA Uptake
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate the cytoprotective effect of L-carnitine against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and to compare its efficacy with that of amifostin by quantitative renal Tc 99m DMSA uptake. MATERIAL AND METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups of six animals each. 1) Control (saline; 5 ml/kg intraperitoneally); 2) L-carnitine (CAR; 300 m...
متن کاملComparison of Tc-99m Ethylenedicysteine (Tc-99m EC) with Tc-99m DPTA in evaluation of renal disease [Persian]
Tc-99m-EC is a new renal radiopharmaceutical introduced as an alternative for Tc-99m MAG3. Twenty-three normal volunteers and patients in different .stages of renal disease were evaluated with Te-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA. The mean initial uptake of EC was significantly higher as compared to DTPA. There was a high correlation between rectangular and hand-drawn ROls for kidney and background,...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of normal uptake of mandibular condyle in bone scan with Tc 99m-MDP [Persian]
Unilateral condylar hyperplasia is the main cause of mandibular asymmetry. Radionuclide bone scanning is a useful procedure for functional evaluation of temporomandibular joint. In this study, 39 patients with normal bone scan and no facial asymmetry were studied. All patients were below 22 years of age. Normal condylar uptake was determined in this group of patients. Right & left condyla...
متن کاملMegaureter visualization on Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy.
We present a patient with left-sided obstructed megaureter secondary to neuropathic bladder. He was referred for technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid ((99m)Tc-DMSA) renal cortical scintigraphy to evaluate renal cortical function. Images obtained 4 hr after injection showed significant activity in the dilated left ureter. When the ureter is visualized on DMSA scan, obstructive megaureter shoul...
متن کاملuse of 99m Tc-DMSA scintigraphy in assessment of renal complications of COVID-19
ABSTRACT COVID-19 mainly affects respiratory and immune systems, but other organs like renal, cardiovascular, lung and nervous systems could also be involved in both acute and chronic settings (1, 2). There is a lot of studies that demonstrate an increasing number of long COVID-19 who continue to experience persistent symptoms weeks or even months after the initial disease. Reports suggest...
