Correlation and concordance of glomerular filtration rate from renal scintigraphy modified modification diet in disease equation

Background: Imaging modalities such as voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), direct radionuclide cystography (DRNC), and renal cortical scintigraphy (RCS) with technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-99mDMSA), are helpful in detecting possible abnormalities of urinary tract such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). However, there are confounding data regarding the preference of these modalities. In ...

Background It is important to find a predictor for the course of Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome for better planning of treatment. Renal cortical echogenicity in ultrasonography has been postulated as a marker for the course of renal disease. The present study aimed at evaluating the relationship between renal cortical echogenicity and the course...

UNLABELLED Technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-99m DMSA) as a static renal agent is currently the most frequently used agent in the detection of renal scarring, and allows accurate calculation of differential renal function (DRF). But this agent has some disadvantages such as relatively higher radiation dose and time consumption. METHODS The purpose of this study was to evaluate the po...

Renal imaging with radioisotopes, or renal scintigraphy, allows the quantitative evaluation of renal function and urodynamics. Measurement of renal function provides essential information in various situations of clinical practice. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor renography makes it possible to detect patients with renovascular hypertension. Diuresis renography aids in differentiating u...

Purpose: Disruption of normal renal development can lead to congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract, including renal hypodysplasia. We aimed to clarify whether small kidney size affects clinical manifestations in children with urinary tract infection (UTI). Methods: One hundred fifty-four patients who had their first symptomatic UTI between January 2014 and June 2015 were enrolled ...

BACKGROUND/AIM Ureteropelvic junction obstruction and vesicoureteral reflux are the most frequent entities identified on the basis of antenatal hydronephrosis. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and pattern of abnormal renal scintigraphy findings in postnatal investigation of children with antenatal hydronephrosis. METHODS Twenty-four infants (19 boys and five girls) present...

Background: Assessment of renal lesions and deficiency accurately remains critical in the diagnosis congenital anomalies kidneys urinary tracts (CAKUT) children. Advanced imaging such as Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) Diffusion weighted (DWI) allows structural functional insufficiency to be detected. Currently, radiomics machine learning models are being explored full-automated diagnostic too...
