Renal localization of radiolabeled antibody fragments presents a problem in targeted imaging and radiotherapy. We recently reported that Fab fragments labeled with 3'-[(131)I]iodohippuryl N(epsilon)-maleoyl-l-lysine (HML) demonstrated markedly low renal radioactivity levels from early postinjection in mice. Previous studies suggested that

In an ongoing effort to develop a renal tracer with pharmacokinetic properties comparable to p-aminohippurate and superior to those of both (99m)Tc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine and (131)I-o-iodohippurate ((131)I-OIH), we evaluated a new renal tricarbonyl radiotracer based on the aspartic-N-monoacetic acid (ASMA) ligand, (99m)Tc(CO)(3)(ASMA).

The pharmacokinetics of the tricarbonyl core radiopharmaceutical (99m)Tc(CO)3-nitrilotriacetic acid ((99m)Tc(CO)3(NTA)) in rats and subjects with normal renal function are comparable to those of (131)I-o-iodohippuran ((131)I-OIH), the radiopharmaceutical gold standard for the measurement of effective renal plasma flow. Our objective was

99mTc-Mercaptoacetyltriglycine ((99m)Tc-MAG3) and (99m)Tc-L,L-ethylenedicysteine ((99m)Tc-LL-EC) are useful renal radiopharmaceuticals; however, both agents have renal clearances less than that of (131)I-orthoiodohippurate ((131)I-OIH), and (99m)Tc-LL-EC exists in dianionic and monoanionic forms at physiologic pH. In an effort to develop a superior (99m)Tc
Measuring GFR using exogenous markers without a bladder catheter, errors can be easily made due to incomplete urine collection. The aim was to quantify agreement for 125I-iothalamate GFR measurements with and without a correction for inaccurate urine collection using 131I-hippuran.
