The efficacy of five different radiodiagnostic agents for detecting renal tubular dysfunction induced with cisplatin in rats was compared to controls. Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) labeled with 99mTc or 111In was administered simultaneously with each of the other four agents [99mTc]glucoheptonate, [99mTc]dimercaptosuccinic acid, [131I]hippuran and [111In]lysozyme) as a standard to normalize for differences in functional impairment from animal to animal from the same dose of cisplatin. The 2-hr plasma clearance and computer-generated 2- to 3-min uptake in the two kidneys with [99mTc]dimercaptosuccinic acid were significantly inferior to similar measurements with the other agents in differentiating abnormal from normal function. The 2-hr uptake of [99mTc]glucoheptonate and [111In]lysozyme proved of no value in this differentiation. The late renal retention of [99mTc]dimercaptosuccinic acid well separated the cisplatin from control rats, but the greatest difference was observed by the 2-hr uptakes of [131I]hippuran and DTPA.

Article Synopsis
- A 59-year-old man undergoing surveillance for an abdominal aortic aneurysm and peripheral artery disease was evaluated through a CT Angiogram of the aorta.
- The scan revealed a 6.2cm abdominal aortic aneurysm with significant thrombus, occluded arteries, and calcified stenosis in key blood vessels.
- A Tc-99m DMSA renal scan was performed to assess the extent of kidney infarction and to evaluate the functional differences between the kidneys.

Background Ureteropelvic junction stenosis (UPJS) is the most common cause of clinically significant antenatal hydronephrosis. We compared separate renal function results obtained using technetium-99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (Tc-99m MAG-3) and technetium-99m-dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-99m DMSA) in pediatric patients with UPJS to evaluate the adequacy of Tc-99m MAG-3 scintigraphy and the necessity of additional Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy during follow-up. Methodology Patients diagnosed with hydronephrosis in the Pediatric Nephrology Department of Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine over a period of 10 years (2012-2022) were evaluated retrospectively.

Tc-labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-DMSA) imaging is a well-established and highly sensitive method for the diagnosis of several renal cortical disorders affecting children and adults. Beginning in 2014, Tc-DMSA availability was severely impaired when it was added to the Drug Shortages List of the U.S.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and selenium (Se) on vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) nephropathy.
Methods: A total of 44 rabbits in 7 groups, namely group 1 (Control), group 2 (VUR + sterile urine), group 3 (VUR + sterile urine + NAC), group 4 (VUR + sterile urine + Se), group 5 (VUR + infected urine), group 6 (VUR + infected urine + NAC) and group 7 (VUR + infected urine + Se), were used. Tc Dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan (DMSA), cystogram and urine culture were performed both at the beginning and end of the study.
