چکیده
a man with metastatic carcinoma of the colon had a bone scan which revealed urinary retention in the leftkidney. ten months later, a tc-99m-dtpa renai glomerular study showed the left kidney to have only 8% oftotal renal function. fifteen months after that, (he same kidney demonstrated 9% of total function, while theright kidney had evolving obstruction due to his neoplasm. the case shows that loss of a significant amountof renal activity can occur over relatively short intervals, but that a small degree of functional activity canpersist.

متن کاملAssessment of the individual renal function in chronic unilateral renal obstruction using functional CT as compared to 99mTc-DTPA renal scan
Introduction: The selection of optimal treatment of obstructive nephrouropathy requires information about the functional status of each kidney. Nuclear renal scanning objectively measure differential renal function, multiple studies have demonstrated the role of assessment of renal perfusion and GFR with triphasic CT. The aim of this study is to assess the role of CT based on renal parenchyma...
متن کاملPredictors of residual renal function loss in peritoneal dialysis: is previous renal transplantation a risk factor?
Preservation of residual renal function (RRF) is an important goal in peritoneal dialysis (PD). The present study explored the factors conditioning RRF decline in a PD population. We studied 148 consecutive patients. Age, sex, diabetes, previous renal replacement therapy time and modality [hemodialysis (HD), renal transplantation (RT), or PD first], peritoneal transport, PD prescription [automa...
