Renal Function Creatinine Clearance: No accurate due to tubular excretion Overestimates GFR in chronic renal disease and decreased muscle mass No measure individual renal function unless catheterization of each kidney Clearance of DTPA Plasma-sample : more accurate Camera-based Relative uptake: DRF Normal:50/50 to 56/44 57/43 to 59/41: borderline 60/40: abnormal
28
Obstructive uropathy Diuresis renography for Diagnosis Assesment of parenchymal damage Postsurgical evaluation Anatomical imaging methods rely on demonstrating the structural abnormalities Diuretic renography : Very useful : evaluate renal function and urodynamics in a single test but contributes little to determining etiology.
29
There are two protocols in use: F+20 : demonstrates a diuretic response F-15 :more decisive in detecting minor degrees of obstruction If SKGFR<16ml/min only Whitaker test can be done Obstructive uropathy

Renal transplant scan ; Essential part of transplant department. Best tracer: 99m Tc-MAG3. Perfusion and function analysis Useful in DDx of transplant complications: ATN, Rejection, Cyclosporine toxicity, Obstructive disease,Urinoma, Lymphocele,…

Complications after renal transplantation ATN Minutes to hours Rejection Hyperacute Minutes to hours Hyperacute Minutes to hours Accelerated 1-5 days Accelerated 1-5 days Acute After 5 days (first 3 months) Acute After 5 days (first 3 months) Chronic Months to years Chronic Months to years Cyclosporine toxicity Months Surgical Urine leak, Hematoma, Wound infection, Urine leak, Hematoma, Wound infection, Obstruction, Lymphocele, RAS Obstruction, Lymphocele, RAS
50
Differential diagnosis of various complications Requires correlation of scintigraphic findings with Pt’s clinical course, physical findings, laboratory values, current therapy, prior scintigraphic findings, and results of other imaging tests.
51
Since many of the complications are diagnosed from the patterns of changes in time, it is important to obtain a baseline study soon after transplantation. Follow-up studies should be performed always by the same technique.
52
Two Aspects: Perfusion phase Perfusion phase Function Phase Function Phase Choice; Tc99m-MAG3 Good quality perfusion images Good quality perfusion images High extraction rate High extraction rate Excellent imagesExcellent images Evaluation of collecting system, ureter and bladder Evaluation of collecting system, ureter and bladder Renal transplant scan : TRS

55
Nuclear medicine testing Obtain a baseline study soon after transplantation ATN: Perfusion is better than function, decreased uptake, delayed transit, diminished clearance AR: Decreased perfusion, tracer uptake, delayed transit and decreased clearance CR: low uptake, normal parenchymal transit with absent or minimal cortical retention Cyc toxicity: Mild : like CR Severe: like ATN RVH caused by RAS can not differentiated from CR unless challenged by ACEI s.

DMSA Renal scan; Clinical applications; Renal size, shape and location Renal cortical assessment. Determining DRF (most accurate noninvasive method) Infectious disease and distinguish upper from lower UTI(Early detection and follow up of pyelonephritis; most sensitive,95% Vs 76%) Follow up of patients(serial scans) Congenital renal anomaly(Ectopia,..)

Acute pyelonephritis in DMSA scan Single or multiple areas of decreased cortical uptake No loss of volume Diffusely decreased uptake in an enlarged kidney Diminished uptake may be due to both focal tubular cell dysfunction and ischemia Diminished uptake may be due to both focal tubular cell dysfunction and ischemia A mature cortical scar is usually associated with contraction, cortical thinning, loss of volume and marked reduction in uptake A mature cortical scar is usually associated with contraction, cortical thinning, loss of volume and marked reduction in uptake

Scrotal scintigraphy; If the diagnosis of testicular torsion is established : surgery When the diagnosis is uncertain, imaging studies should be rapidly obtained Tracer: Technetium pertechnetate ( 99m TcO4) Easy, simple and takes only 10 minutes DDx of acute torsion from other complications ( epididymitis) ( epididymitis) Scintigraphy can confirm the clinically suspected diagnosis of torsion and direct the patient to surgery Scintigraphy can minimize unnecessary exploration in patients with an inflammatory cause of their pain. For chronic or painless disorders of the scrotum US is the method of choice.
104
Acute testicular torsion Scintigraphic findings The findings depend on the time Early torsion: Decreased activity in the region of the involved testicle Early torsion: Decreased activity in the region of the involved testicle Late torsion: Increased scrotal activity but relatively decreased activity in the region of the ischemic testicle “ bull’s eye” Late torsion: Increased scrotal activity but relatively decreased activity in the region of the ischemic testicle “ bull’s eye” Acute epididymitis & epididymoorchitis: Increased activity Increased activity Scrotal scintigraphy is not the imaging of choice in most other conditions affecting the scrotal contents.

Renovascular Hypertension Renovascular Hypertension Defined as stenotic lesions of the renal arteries that induce elevated BP and potentially improve after revascularization Anatomic stenosis is not equivalent to the diagnosis of RVH Significant morbidity from renal artery angioplasty or revascularization A functional diagnosis is needed before proceeding with therapy Discrepancies between scintigraphy and angiography Involving the small vessels Involving the small vessels RAS incidentally in a substantial proportion of elderly Pts RAS incidentally in a substantial proportion of elderly Pts The prevalence of RVH<1%
108
Captopril Renal Scan (ACE inhibition renography) Advantages: Best screening test for RVH Best predictor of response to surgery, angioplasty and captopril therapy Determine which Pts have hemodynamically significant stenoses enough to cause HTN Avoided unnecessary arteriograms Detection of RVH whatever the level of arterial obstruction High accuracy Sensitivity: 80-90% Specificity:90-95% Techniques: Post Captopril scan ( 50mg orally,..) Base line scan Positive if GFR or Curve worsening Mechanism: Inhibition of ACE, releasing efferent arteriole constriction.
110
Criteria of positivity 10% rise in cortical retention ratio Increase in the Time to peak Worsening in DRF ( relative uptake) MPTT
111
Criteria of positivity Shape of curve: a worsening of at least one grade
112
Baseline StudyPost-captopril Study Pre- and post captopril excretion curves of the right kideny
114
Selection of patients for evaluation Diagnosis of RVH can be made only after the patient responds to revascularization The tests can not be used as a mass screening procedure: The incidence of RVH is low and therefore post test probability of a positive test still has a low probability of RVH. The incidence of RVH is low and therefore post test probability of a positive test still has a low probability of RVH. CRS appears to have improved sensitivity and specificity to the point where it is practical to screen selected patients. CRS appears to have improved sensitivity and specificity to the point where it is practical to screen selected patients.
115
Indication of ACE inhibition renography Accelerated or malignant HTN Abrupt or recent onset HTN Onset under age 30 or over age 55 Refractory HTN Abdominal or flank bruits Unexplained azotemia Worsening renal function during therapy with ACEI s End organ damage ( LVH, retinopathy) Occlusive disease in other vascular beds Previous hypertensive urogram suggestive of RAS Unilateral small kidney
116
Aspirin Renography Inhibition of PG synthesis would decrease renin : An effect similar to captopril Aspirin reduces both renal blood flow and glomerular filtration - Similar sensitivities to ACEI scintigraphy Renal blood flow PGE2 Renin
