RESUMO
Objective To compare the value of 99m Tc-DTPA dynamic renal imaging and intravenous pyelography(IVP) in assessing renal function. Methods The results of 99m Tc-DTPA dynamic renal imaging and IVP in 117 patients with renal diseases confirmed by clinical examinations, abdominal ultrasonography, CT and blood biochemical markers were analysed retrospectively. Results Out of 234 kidneys,101 were clearly visualized by IVP, which were indicated normal renal uptake by 99m Tc-DTPA dynamic renal imaging, and the GFR value was (60.13?16.85)ml/min. 48 kidneys were poorly visualized by IVP, their uptake detected by dynamic renal imaging was between grade 1 to 3, and the GFR value was (23.06?10.61)ml/min. 85 kidneys were not visualized by IVP, 71.8% of which(61/85kidneys) were indicated uptake of radionuclide by dynamic renal imaging with the (20.39?12.54)ml/min GFR value, and uptake of 8 kidneys among the 61 kidneys was normal. The functional kidneys detected by dynamic renal imaging were more than those detected by IVP(P
