Evaluation of Renal Function: A Comparison Between Camera-Based Tc-99m MAG3 and 24-Hour Creatinine Clearances
OBJECTIVE: The 24-hour creatinine clearance is the standard clinical technique to measure renal function; however, this measurement is cumbersome and inconvenient for patients. We hypothesized that a camera-based Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) clearance obtained simultaneously with a standard MAG3 scan would correlate well with the 24-hour creatinine clearance and could serve as a simpl...
متن کاملInfluence of hydration status in normal subjects: fractional analysis of parameters of Tc-99m DTPA and Tc-99m MAG3 renography.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of hydration status upon renogram patterns and renal physiological parameters and clarify the differences between DTPA and MAG3 studies in normal volunteers. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study populations were 22 kidneys of 11 volunteers with no history of hypertension or renal disease with normal serum creatinine le...
متن کاملDemonstration of Adaptive Functional Differences Seen in Kidneys Accompanying a Nonfunctioning/Hypofunctioning Partner, using Camera Based Tc 99m MAG3 Clearance Measurement Technique
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to demonstrate the functional compensation that occurs in kidneys which accompany a partner with total or partial loss of renal functioning mass, using camera-based Tc 99m MAG3 clearance technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty five patients (43M, 42F, age: 44.8±12.6, range: 18-77 years) with normal serum creatinine levels and normal (<Grade 1) Tc 99m MAG3 re...
متن کاملEstimation of 99mTc-MAG3 clearance by single-sample methods and camera-based methods.
We compared single-sample methods, proposed by Russell et al. and Bubeck et al., and camera-based methods in calculating 99mTc-MAG3 clearance, and determined camera-based methods that provide estimates comparable to those measured by the Russell method. Twenty-one patients underwent 99mTc-MAG3 renal scintigraphy, and clearance was measured by the Russell method and Bubeck method. Various renogr...
متن کاملA camera based calculation of 99mTc-MAG3 clearance using conjugate views method [Persian]
Background: Measurement of absolute or differential renal function using radiotracers plays an important role in the clinical management of various renal diseases. Gamma camera quantitative methods in approximation of renal clearance may potentially be as accurate as plasma clearance methods. However some critical factors such as kidney depth and background counts are still troublesome in...
