Renal parenchymal transit time of the recently introduced radiopharmaceutical 99m Tc-MAG
3 (mercaptoacetylglycylglylcylglycinel) was measured in 37 kidneys, using factor analysis to …

Purpose The aim of this prospective study was to assess the reliability of a rapid, handy,
point-of-care whole blood creatinine meter (PCM) in patients who were scheduled to …

Background The measurement of 24-hour creatinine clearance (CCr) is most commonly
used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). A new rapid method for determining GFR …

Abstract 99m Tc-MAG3 has been proposed as a replacement for both 131 I-hippuran and
99m Tc-DTPA on clinical grounds. We undertook a prospective preliminary study to …

Objective: In the literature, there are many reports comparing relative renal function
calculated with Tc 99m DTPA and Tc 99m DMSA in adults and children. However, there is …

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important index of renal function. Twenty-four-hour
creatinine clearance overestimates GFR in patients with poor renal function. Inulin and …

Numerous centers perform glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurements on patients
undergoing renal imaging with Tc-99m DTPA. GFR measurement, however, does involve …

The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy and sources of error in estimating
single-kidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR) derived from low-dose gadolinium-enhanced …

Purpose: In this study, the authors studied the use of a dual-detector gamma camera to
measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Methods: Thirty-three patients with a wide …

Objectives To assess the accuracy and reproducibility of methods used to measure
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in clinical practice. Patients and methods Simultaneous …
