Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare two gamma camera-based methods (Gates' method and Inoue's method) for measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with Russell's two plasma sample clearance method (2-PSC), which was taken as the gold standard.
Materials And Methods: In 94 healthy potential kidney donors (25 women and 69 men), GFR was measured by means of the 2-PSC method and was compared with Gates' and Inoue's methods of assessing GFR after technetium-99m-labeled diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (⁹⁹ mTc-DTPA) injection.
Results: Inoue's method showed no statistically significant difference (P=0.
