β¦ Synopsis
The relative accuracy of five simplified methods of measuring glomerular filtration rate was prospectively assessed using 99mTc-DTPA. The slope of the biological clearance curve, the 3-h volume of dilution and three renal tracer uptake methods (Piepsz, Gates and Nielsen) were concurrently compared with a multiple blood sampling reference method. The volume of dilution method from a single blood sample was markedly superior to the other four simplified methods which all had a similar degree of accuracy.

A variety of methods have been proposed to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from the renal uptake of technetium Tc 99m-DTPA using a gamma camera. To compare alternative methods, we calculated the GFR in several different ways from measurements in 33 patients and compared the results wit
A method for 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA) gamma-camera renography is presented. From each renogram, an uptake index (UI) proportional to the single-kidney glomerular filtration rate (SKGFR) is defined. If the proportionality factor between UI and SKGFR is the same in all patients, UI
