Spectrum of Disorders Diagnosed on 99mTc-MAG3 Radioisotope Renography: A Report of 260 Saudi Arabian Patients

چکیده
Background: Diuretic renography using 99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99mTc-MAG3) is a relatively non-invasive technique and has been increasingly used as reliable for the evaluation of kidney function in wide range disorders. Methods: In this retrospective study, we retrieved medical records patients referred to Radiology Department Radiology, King Abdulaziz Specialist Hospital, Taif, Saudi Arabia, with suspected disease underwent 99mTc-MAG3 diuretic during January 2020 November 2021. Results: The 260 were retrieved. Most had either obstructive (n = 80; 30.7 %) or non-obstructive hydronephrosis 60; 23.1 %). left was affected more than half 155; 59.6 terms split functions, right median 50.9 (38.5–75.5); overall, 39 (69.6%) good function. 49.4 (24.5–61.5); 33 (58.9%) Conclusion: Radioisotope useful assessing functions real-life settings. present study’s results indicate that radioisotope helpful visual interpretation failure, uropathy stenosis.

Administered activity optimization in 99mTc-MAG3 renography for adults.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this work was to determine the minimum administered activity of (99m)Tc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) needed both to estimate effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) with adequate precision and to obtain good image quality. METHODS Three groups of 10 patients each were injected with 45, 71, or 132 MBq of MAG3. Renograms and perfusion and clearance images were obtained....

OBJECTIVE Since the approval of mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) for routine clinical use, reports have appeared about hepatobiliary excretion deleteriously affecting available diagnostic and quantitative information. The purpose of this study was to evaluate gallbladder (GB) uptake of MAG3 in the clinical setting and its effect on the evaluation of relative renal function and imaging. METHODS...
متن کاملSynthesis, formulation and quality control of 99mTc-MAG3, as a renal tubular 99mTc-radiopharmaceutical kit [Persian]
Radionuclidic techniques may provide assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) or individual renal function. Several agents were available for determination of these parameters such as ¹³¹I-OIH (O-iodohippurate) and different derivatives of DADS (Diamidodisulfur). OIH has the disadvantage of imparting a relatively high absorbed radiation dose to the...
متن کاملExperiences with radioisotope renography in children.
Radioisotope renography provides, from the individual kidney, a graphic record of the renal vascularity, of the excretory funtion of the tubular cells, and of the evacuatory capability of the tubules and the kidney pelvis. By the use of additional scintillation counters, an index of the rate of extraction of the isotope from the blood and its rate of accumulation in the bladder can also be obta...
