ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim was to assess how the background site affects the Gates' glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement using Tc-99m-DTPA in correlation with GFR by I-125-iothalamate method. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
The study populations were 63 adults with 39 men and 24 women aged from 20 to 59 yrs (mean = 37.9 yrs). The following five background regions of interest were used in measurement of GFR using Gates'method:
1) lower side of each kidney (subrenal), 2) around each kidney (circumferential), 3) upper side of each kidney (suprarenal), 4) lateral side of each kidney (lateral), 5) between the two kidneys (inter-renal). We also measured GFR using I-125-iothalamate in each subject. The two studies were separated by 1 to 3 weeks. The subjects were divided into two groups by renal depth. Group 1 with renal depth> or=7cm and group 2 with renal depth or=7cm.CONCLUSION:
GFRs measured with Gates' method showed higher correlation with the GFR measured by I-125-iothalamate when the regions of interest were placed over the suprarenal and inter-renal backgrounds. And GFRs measured with Gates method showed statistically significant correlation with the GFR measured by I-125-iothalamate in the group with renal depth < 7cm.
