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

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

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
We studied prospectively the perioperative changes of renal function in nine children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) were measured with inulin and (131)I-hippuran clearances before CPB, during hypo

Renal failure is a major complication in glycogen storage disease type I (GSD I). We studied the natural course of renal function in GSD I patients. We studied differences between patients in optimal and nonoptimal metabolic control and possible renoprotective
