Abstract
Thirty-five cases with a variety of renal diseases in internal medicine were subject to scintigraphy and renography with203Hg-Salyrgan. The scintigrams were evaluated from morphologically diagnostic point of view, while the reno grams were interpreted in comparison with the pattern of reno gram with131I-Hippuran.
In normal cases and slight orr moderate renal insufficiencies, it was suitable to start scanning with a scintiscanner or a scinticamera at 10 or 15 min post iv injection of203Hg-Salyrgan, so as to make a clear scintigram of kidney. The scintigraphic information of renal morphology is a great clinical value in renal diagnosis.
In severe renal insufficiency, any clear scintigram was not viewed.
The pattern of the reno gram with203Hg-Salyrgan was different from that of131I-Hippuran. The prolongation of at+bt value in the reno gram of203Hg-Salyrgan was indicative of insufficiency. Any reaction did not occur.
