Nuclear Renogram can play an invaluable role in assessment of post renal transplant complication. Early recognition of renal functions loss after renal transplant can allow early management of high probability of salvaging the renal function. Subsequently an urgent USG KUB & doppler of transplant kidney was performed which revealed absent perfusion in upper half of transplant with finding sugge...

We report a 16-year-old-male patient with Prune-Bellysyndrome (PBS) and patent urachus, bilateral renal dysplasia and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The first kidney transplantation was performed at the age of 3 years, leaving an urachal catheter. Transplant failure underwent in a new cadaveric transplant at the present. Post-kidney transplant renogram was performed to evaluate the renal funct...

Introduction:Detecting renal allograft dysfunction early will allow timely diagnosis and treatment. There is no objective recommendation by national kidney societies for glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) estimation in post-transplant setting. 99mTc-DTPA Technetium-99m Diethylene triamine penta acetic acid) renogram can identify early renal dysfunction much before ser...

Dynamic CT scans were conducted on 94 persons who had been randomly selected among the patients and the volunteers. The test results were used to obtain the time-density curve. A part of the subjects (20 cases) underwent the renogram examination for the comparative studies. The cortico-aortic (CA) ratio derived from the time-density curve demonstrated good correlation between the dynamic CT and...

OBJECTIVE Renographies obtained within 1 h of renal transplantation were studied prospectively to evaluate their technical feasibility and potential clinical impact on successful treatment of immediate posttransplantation complications such as arterial or venous thrombosis, which require prompt diagnosis and management. SUBJECTS AND METHODS During December 1996 to December 1998, 127 renal tra...

FOR SEVERAL years an active program in human organ transplantation has been conducted at our institution (1-3), and since March 1962, 214 patients have received renal transplants. Two thirds of these transplanted kidneys are still functioning and most of these patients are living nearly normal lives. In addition, limited success has been achieved in liver transplantation (4-6). Of 14 recipients...

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...

UNLABELLED Severe renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a relatively uncommon complication after renal transplantation but is a curable cause of hypertension, which demands reliable early diagnosis to reduce morbidity, mortality and graft loss. Captopril renography has been used for a number of years as a method of detecting RAS but controversy still exists as to the diagnostic accuracy of this test a...
