✦ Synopsis

In nine patients with different types of proximal tubulopathy and a nearly normal glomerular filtration rate a low uptake of 99mTc-DMSA in kidneys was found. The underlying mechanism seems to be an increased urinary excretion of 99mTc-DMSA. This radiopharmaceutical might be used as a marker of proximal tubular dysfunction.

A patient is described who had accelerated hypertension and unilateral renal artery stenosis, and who developed further deterioration in renal function during treatment with captopril, an angiotension-I (AI) converting-enzyme inhibitor. 99mTc-DMSA uptake was greatly diminished in the stenotic kidney

We studied renal anatomy and function using 99mTc-2-3 dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) in 27 patients with conduit urinary diversion. In this condition, free ureteral reflux is often associated with bacteriuria, and these factors are thought to preci
