چکیده

A 13-year-old girl with fused pelvic kidneys detected on ultrasonographic examination was referred to our department for a diuresis renography to assess urine drainage dynamics and exclude the possibility of urinary tract obstruction. Renal scan demonstrated fused pelvic kidneys functioning normally without obstruction. The authors present this case to demonstrate the diuresis renography findings of the combined position, fusion and rotation anomalies of the kidneys that is a rare congenital anomaly of the urinary tract.

Evaluation of exercise-induced acute renal failure in renal hypouricemia using Tc-99m DTPA renography.

We present a case of a thirty-eight-year-old man who had exercise-induced acute renal failure (exercise-induced ARF). He experienced oliguria, general fatigue, and vague discomfort in the lower abdomen after he exercised. As he had suffered from hypouricemia before, he was diagnosed as having exercise-induced ARF associated with hypouricemia. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) images showed patc...

Unilateral temporary functional stasis in the upper urinary tract caused by "a filled bladder" on Tc-99m DTPA diuresis renography: a teaching case.

A 2-year-old girl with recurrent urinary tract infection having slight left pelvicaliceal dilatation on her renal ultrasound underwent a Tc-99m DTPA diuresis renography. During the excretion phase, a prominent and persisting left pelvicaliceal stasis was noticed even after the diuretic injection. However, it disappeared simultaneously with an uncontrolled micturition. This patient is presented ...

The half maximum time of (99m)Tc-DTPA renography measured in healthy kidney donors, compared to (131)I-OIH.

Technetium-99m-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid ((99m)Tc-DTPA) has been widely used after (131)I-ortho-hippurate ((131)I-OIH) for renography and to test renal function. Only a few reports refer to normal values range of (99m)Tc-DTPA renography half maximum time (HMT). We have measured the normal value range of (99m)Tc-DTPA renography HMT in our department, of 433 healthy kidney donors fro...

Monitoring of renal function using 99mTc-DMSA and 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy in patients with spinal cord injury.

AIM The aim of this study was to assess the degree of alterations of renal function by using 99m-technetium dimercaptosuccinic acid ((99m)Tc-DMSA) and 99m-technetium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid ((99m)Tc-DTPA) scintigraphy in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-two consecutive SCI (15 paraplegic and 7 tetraplegic) patients (mean age: 49.1±13.4 years) who had n...

Ethylenedicysteine versus diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid as the carrier of technetium Tc 99m in diuretic renography for patients with upper urinary tract obstruction.

INTRODUCTION L,L-ethylenedicysteine (EC) is a new carrier of technetium Tc 99m (99mTc) with a lower affinity to plasma albumin in comparison with diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA). We compared 99mTc-EC scan with 99mTc-DTPA scan in diuretic renography for patients with obstructive uropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three patients with upper urinary tract obstruction were randomly ...
