assessment of the individual renal function in chronic unilateral renal obstruction using functional ct as compared to 99mtc-dtpa renal scan
Authors
abstract
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 parenchymal volume measurement in assessment of individual renal function compared to 99mtc-dtpa renal scan in patients with unilateral renal obstruction. methods: during the indicated time interval, 42 patients with chronic unilateral obstruction; the percentage of the individual renal functions by 99mtc-dtpa and by ct were assessed. results: the percentage of the individual renal functions as estimated by 99mtc-dtpa in obstructed kidneys ranged from 0% to 40.43% (13.22), while by ct is in range from 0 to 36.68% (15.52). the correlation between percent renal function by 99mtc-dtpa renal scan and percent renal volume by ct were assessed in obstructed kidneys and there were statistically significant relationship (r = 0.877, p < 0.0001). conclusion: ct scan can be used as an integrated modality to assess the functional and morphological status of unilateral chronic renal obstruction, however 99mtc-dtpa renal scan is a safe choice with less radiation exposure, further comparative studies are needed to assess the role of ct-based parenchymal volume in evaluation of individual renal functions in patients with acute obstruction, bilateral nephropathy and renal impairment.

Assessment 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.

full textAssessment of individual renal function in children using 99mTc-DTPA.
Differential renal function assessment using 99mTc-DTPA was carried out in 12 children aged between 3 weeks and 11 years who had undergone surgical procedures which allowed separate access to the urine output from each kidney. The results correlated well with those obtained by measuring individual kidney creatinine clearances. The best result was obtained using the technique of deconvolution an...
full textAssessment of renal function in mice with unilateral ureteral obstruction using 99mTc-MAG3 dynamic scintigraphy
BACKGROUND Renal scintigraphy using 99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99mTc-MAG3) is widely used for the assessment of renal function in humans. However, the application of this method to animal models of renal disease is currently limited, especially in rodents. Here, we have applied 99mTc-MAG3 renal scintigraphy to a mouse model of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and evaluated its utility...

Objective(s):Our recent report indicates that breviscapine play a protective role of the kidney by down-regulating transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and alleviating interstitial fibrosis following unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). In this study, we investigate the effect of breviscapine on changes of renal water and sodium transport proteins in response t...
