  • Title: Differentiation of reversible ischemia from end-stage renal failure in nephrotic children with 131I-hippurate dynamic scintigraphy.
    Author: Hattner RS, Maltz HE, Holiday MA.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1977 May; 18(5):438-40. PubMed ID: 859022.
    Abstract:
    In renal failure associated with the nephrotic syndrome, therapeutic strategy is highly dependent upon the cause of the renal failure. Dynamic hippurate scintigraphy was studied in five pediatric patients. Four had nephrotic syndrome, and of these, three had acute renal failure. The fifth patient had end-stage renal failure. Specific alteration in renal hippurate kinetics offers a noninvasive assessment of renal failure in this clinical setting.
