Comparison between slope-intercept and slope-only techniques for measuring glomerular filtration rate: use of two independent markers and an independent arbiter.

abstract：:(99m)Tc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scans can provide accurate diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis, its sequelae (renal scars) and differential renal function (DRF). The purposes of this retrospective study were (1) to assess the relationship between DRF obtained during acute pyelonephritis and at follow-up, an...

abstract：:Conventional nuclear medicine methods for measuring glomerular filtration rate, GFR, are invalidated if the initial injection of radiopharmaceutical is tissued. An analytical method proposed by Veall and Gibbs in 1982 overcomes this difficulty but does require multiple blood samples. This paper investigates whether it...
