  • Title: Additional extrarenal abnormalities seen in Tc-99m DTPA renal flow study.
    Author: Shih WJ, Riley C, Domstad PA, Pulmano C.
    Journal: Radiat Med; 1988; 6(2):49-53. PubMed ID: 3051136.
    Abstract:
    During 99mTc-DTPA renal flow studies, extrarenal abnormalities have been found to include aortic abnormalities (aneurysm, ectasia, thrombosis, and abruptly decreased flow), splenic abnormalities (enlarged, small, or absent spleen), hepatic arterialization, and very slow circulation. In addition to the above abnormal findings, we add three more extrarenal pathologies that may be concomitantly found with renal flow study: pleural effusion(s), malignancy of the abdomen, and anemia and/or skeletal metastases.
