The surgical treatment of choice for significant hydronephrosis is dismembered pyeloplasty. While in open surgery, extensive resection of the dilated pelvis is common practice, laparoscopically usually only a sparing resection is performed. We compared the treatment results of both techniques

To develop a (99m)Tc renal tracer with a capacity to measure effective renal plasma flow comparable to that of the clinical gold standard (131)I-o-iodohippurate ((131)I-OIH) and superior to that of (99m)TcO-mercaptoacetyltriglycine, which has a clearance only 50%-60% that of (131)I-OIH

We present here a direct least-squares estimation (DLSE) method for the determination of renal kinetic parameters from sequences of very fast acquisitions performed with a three-headed single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system. A simple linear model for the behavior

Studies in rats showed that the pharmacokinetics of the tricarbonyl core radiopharmaceutical (99m)Tc(CO)(3)-nitrilotriacetic acid, (99m)Tc(CO)(3)(NTA), were essentially identical to those of (131)I ortho-iodohippuran ((131)I-OIH), the clinical gold standard for the measurement of effective renal plasma flow. Our objective was to
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.
