Tc-99m-DTPA captopril renography in the detection of renovascular hypertension due to renal polar artery stenosis.

چکیده
A 24-year-old man whose clinical features were suggestive of renovascular hypertension was referred for captopril renal scintigraphy. Captopril renal scintigraphy was positive for renovascular hypertension only when the left kidney was analyzed in 2 separate regions. Angiography confirmed severe stenosis (90%) in the upper branch of the left renal artery.

Comparison of aspirin renogram and captopril renogram in the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Preliminary data indicate that aspirin renography with hippurate may be more sensitive for detection RAS. In this study 20 patients with known or suspected RAS underwent aspirin renography (20 mg/kg orally 1 hour before injection of radiotracer) and captopril renography (50 mg orally) with 99mTc-DTPA. Renal an...
متن کاملInterpretation of captopril renography using artificial neural networks.
The purpose of this study was to develop a method based on artificial neural networks for interpretation of captopril renography tests for the detection of renovascular hypertension caused by renal artery stenosis and to assess the value of different measurements from the test. A total of 250 99mTc-MAG3 captopril renography tests were used in the study. The material was collected from two diffe...
متن کاملFurosemide augments the effects of captopril on nuclear studies in renovascular stenosis.
Captopril facilitates detection of unilateral renovascular hypertension by selectively reducing glomerular filtration rate in affected kidneys. To determine if volume depletion augments this response, we compared the effects of captopril, furosemide, and combined furosemide plus captopril on individual kidney computer-derived clearances of 99mTc-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) and [1...

In order to improve on the technique of noninvasive detection of renal artery stenosis, we studied the effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition with captopril on individual kidney hemodynamics and function as assessed by technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid [( 99mTc]DTPA) renal flow studies and iodine-131 orthoiodohippurate [( 131I]hippuran) renography in experimental Go...
متن کاملSuperiority of tc-99m MAG3 to tc-99m DTPA in treating a patient with mild renal artery stenosis.
A 22-year-old female patient with severe hypertension underwent both Technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetate and Technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine basal and captopril renal scintigraphy. While no significant change was seen with Tc-99m DTPA, there was left sided parenchymal retention of captopril Tc-99m MAG3 suggesting renal artery stenosis which was confirmed by angiography.
