Stunning phenomenon after a radioactive iodine- ¹³¹I diagnostic whole-body scan: Is it really a point of clinical consideration?

abstract：:Renal artery stenosis is an important and potentially curable cause of hypertension. Captopril renography is now recognized to have a high sensitivity and specificity in its diagnosis. Ultimately, however, the result is of little benefit if it does not lead to a change in patient management. To assess how patient mana...
