  • Title: Alternating use of 123I and 131I hippuran for routine postoperative monitoring of transplanted kidneys is impracticable.
    Author: Thomsen HS, Hvid-Jacobsen K, Nielsen SL.
    Journal: Acta Radiol; 1987; 28(3):365-7. PubMed ID: 2958047.
    Abstract:
    During a 7-week period 123I hippuran was used instead of 131I hippuran for all renographies of transplanted kidneys on Wednesdays. Only in well functioning grafts with a diuresis above 2 ml/min during the examination a scintigraphic improvement of renal and upper urinary visualization was obtained. It is concluded that alternating routine use of the expensive 123I hippuran in control of renal grafts cannot be recommended.
