Description
The diagnostic potentialities of dynamic scintigraphy of the kidneys in the detection of renal disturbances were studied in 42 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Dynamic scintigraphy was performed for 20 min, starting from i.v. injection of 370 MBq of 113mIn-DTPA. The resuls of radionuclide renography and dynamic scintigraphy were compared by the time of halflife of 131I-hippuran and 113mIn-DTPA, respectively. The results were also verified with clinicolaboratory findings. Significant correlation between indices of the period of half-life of 131I-hippuran and 113In-DTPA (r=0.81) was revealed. An analysis of the results has shown that dynamic scintigraphy permits the detection of disturbances of renal function more frequently than renography (p<0.01) and clinicolaboratory methods of investigation (p<0.02)
