| Popis: | Renal scintigraphy is an imaging method that uses small amount of radioactive materials called radiotracers, a Gamma camera and a computer to evaluate kidney functions and its anatomy. The present work reports the comparison of the relative renal functions (RRF) calculated with technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc‑DMSA) and technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc‑DTPA) for kidney patients of ages between 5 months and 71 years. A total of 50 patients including 29 male and 21 female has been selected and studied for renography. The mean RRFs have been found to be 52.68 ± 23.63% and 47.32 ± 23.63% respectively for the left and right kidneys with 99mTc-DMSA measurement. With 99mTc-DTPA the values are 52.74 ± 23.54% and 47.26 ± 23.54% for the same. In bivariate correlation analysis, a significant positive correlation (r = 0.996, P |
