    Abstract:
    The results of dynamic scintigraphy of the kidneys using 99mTc-DTPA that is glomerular radiopharmaceutic in patients before and after ESWL (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) are presented. Investigation was performed in 22 patients--in 8 patients immediately before ESWL, 7 days and 3 months later, and in 14 patients before and 7 days after ESWL. The time alteration of the achievement of the maximal values of radiorenographic curve obtained by dynamic scintigraphy (Tmax), as the alteration of separate clearance (SCI) counted as an integral below the other phase of renographic curve. No significant differences were observed in the values of separate clearance before and after ESWL, while Tmax was significantly reduced 3 months after ESWL (p < 0.05). Our results indicated the improvement of glomerular filtration of the kidneys 3 months after ESWL (faster passing of DTPA through the treated kidney).
