Abstract

Renal angiography and/or retrograde pyelography (RP) have often been used to examine renal morphology in cases of renal failure. These examinations are invasive and not always safe for renal failure patients.
^9mTc-Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scintigraphy is an excellent method for visualization of the renal cortex. We have previously reported that ^99mTc-DMSA renal uptake shows the function of each kidney separately. We can safely and non-invasively delineate this function by using ^99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy even in chronic renal failure patients on hemodialysis.
^99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy can further be used to examine renal function and renal images in cases of renal transplantation, so that renal rejection can be diagnosed more quickly and clearly than by other existing methods.
