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.

Patients with malignant hematologic disorders undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT) may develop renal insufficiency. A study was undertaken to assess prospectively the subclinical renal function changes with radioisotopic methods in patients undergoing BMT for hematologic malignancies. We studied 71 patients

We recently identified p-[(18)F]fluorohippurate ([(18)F]PFH) as a potential positron emission tomography (PET) renal agent. The objective of this study was to compare renogram parameters of [(18)F]PFH with o-[(125)I]iodohippurate ([(125)I]OIH) as a surrogate for the renal imaging gold standard (131)I-OIH and
