Early detection of renal scarring in children with suspected pyelonephritis: Comparison of diuretic MAG3 scintigraphy (F0) and DMSAScan
Abstract Background: Screening for patients at risk of renal scarring is a challenge in children with acute pyelonephritis (APN). Diuretic Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) scintigraphy with zero time injection of furosemide (MAG3-F0) was observed to display focal parenchymal disorders. The advantages of MAG3 include: lower radiation dose and short duration of the test. The aim of this st...
متن کاملUrinothorax – an uncommon complication following renal transplantation : a case report
Urinothorax is an uncommon cause of pleural effusion, mostly related to urinary tract injury or obstructive uropathy. Several pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed to explain the transdiaphragmatic evasion of urine from an intra-abdominal collection known as urinoma. Biochemical analysis of pleural fluid and imagiological studies are essential for diagnosis, which requires a high ind...
متن کاملAutomated patient motion detection and correction in dynamic renal scintigraphy.
UNLABELLED Kidney motion during dynamic renal scintigraphy can cause errors in calculated renal function parameters. Our goal was to develop and validate algorithms to detect and correct patient motion. METHODS We retrospectively collected dynamic images from 86 clinical renal studies (42 women, 44 men), acquired using (99m)Tc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (80 image frames [128 × 128 pixels; 3.2 m...
متن کاملDoppler ultrasonography in children with acute pyelonephritis in diagnosis of renal scar compared to DMSA scintigraphy
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most important pediatric health problems, which is occasionally associated with irreversible renal damage. Dimercapto-succinic acid (DMSA) scan is a diagnostic standard for the renal scar. Doppler ultrasonography (D.S) has been considered as a less invasive method. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity ...
متن کاملEthylene dicysteine renal scintigraphy
A 35-year-old Asian male presented with complaints of fever, right-sided pleuritic chest pain and shortness of breath of 7 days’ duration, 1 month after a right percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) by supracostal puncture. On examination, the patient was pale and tachypnaeic with pulse 120/min and blood pressure 150/100mm Hg. He had stony dullness with decreased breath sounds in the right mammar...
