  • Title: [Renal radioisotope clearance in an unselected group of diabetics - a tool for the early recognition of diabetic nephropathy? (author's transl)].
    Author: Doschek D, Wulf R, Krause J.
    Journal: Nuklearmedizin; 1980 Dec; 19(6):271-3. PubMed ID: 7279676.
    Abstract:
    Our study in unselected patients with diabetes was undertaken to determine the relation between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF) according to the patient's age. The diagnostic work-up was done with patients in unselected disease states because a classification of all systemic manifestations of the diabetes was not possible. The lack of selection may therefore reduce the value of our statistical results. From age 55 onwards, there was a reduction in GFR and, to a lesser extent, in RPF exceeding that which was age-dependent. It is, therefore, recommended to check the clearance in all patients with diabetes older than 55 years. The clearance with radioisotopically labeled substances, being a very sensitive method for the evaluation of restricted renal function, may permit an early recognition of diabetic nephropathy.
