Assessment of the individual renal function in chronic unilateral renal obstruction using functional CT as compared to 99mTc-DTPA renal scan

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. 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 parenchyma...

Assessment 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...

Assessment 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...

Breviscapine prevents downregulation of renal water and sodium transport proteins in response to unilateral ureteral obstruction

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...
