Radioisotope renography as a renal function test in the newborn.

چکیده
Kathel, B. L. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 314. Radioisotope renography as a renal function test in the newborn. Isotope renography has been carried out in 32 babies with neurogenic bladder due to spina bifida or with other urological lesions. The tracings can be interpreted according to the standards applicable to renography in older children. Comparison of renography and intravenous urography showed a close correlation between the two tests, but renography proved to be more sensitive and informative. As renography is easily performed and since the radiation dosage is very small, it is of value in those patients where frequent assessment of the function and emptying capability of each individual kidney is required.

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...

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 کاملSurgical and haemodynamic considerations in middle aortic syndrome.
Eleven patients with the middle aortic syndrome have been investigated during the past five years. Corrective surgery was possible in seven, five of whom survived. The maximum constriction in most cases was at the thoracoabdominal junction, an area normally surrounded by intestinal lymphatics. This may indicate that the aetiology is related to an immune response to parasitic infestation of the ...
