To differentiate upper from lower-tract urinary infections, 73 patients were imaged with 67Ga citrate. Renal uptake of the radioisotope occurred in pyelonephritis (documented in 47 patients by ureteral catheterization, bladder washout, or histology) with an accuracy of 86 per cent. There were 15 per cent false-positives and 13 per cent false-negatives. 67Ga may prove to be a clinically valuable test in the diagnosis of pyelonephritis. Results are promptly available 24 hours after injection, and it is a non-invasive test that can safely be repeated to follow recurrent infections. |
