    Abstract:
    The renal extraction efficiencies for various radioactive agents were measured in normal anesthetized dogs during 1 hr after a single intravenous injection. Radioassays were made on serial blood samples drawn simultaneously from the aorta upstream from the renal arteries and from one renal vein. As a reference substance [131I]o-iodohippurate was injected concurrently in all experiments. Blood clearances from serial venous samples and urinary excretion also were measured. Extraction efficiency from whole blood was calculated as (A-V) divided by A, where A = aortic concentration and V = renal venous concentration. This ratio for commercial [131I]o-iodohippurate fell steadily from 88% at 30 sec to 50% at 1 hr. For "purified" [131I]o-iodohippurate the fall was less marked, to 61% at 1 hr. The EE ratios for all other agents were stable after the first minute. The Tc-99m complexes of DTPA, glucoheptonate, and acetylcysteine had ratios averaging 27-29%. The ratios of Tc-99m DMS and Hg-197 chlormerodrin had much lower average values of 8 and 14%, respectively. None of the newer agents approached the extraction efficiency of [131I]o-iodohippurate.
