Description

In 65 patients with uni- or bilateral nephroptosis the 131I-hippurate-clearance of each kidney was determined in combination with sequential gammacamera scintigraphy. The clearance values were normal in 65% without changing due to patient position. In 35% of the ptotic kidneys clearance values were lower than normal as well as in 17.5% of the nonptotic contralateral kidneys. 23% of the ptotic kidneys showed diminished clearance values in the upright position, whereas a significant increase was found in prone position. Such short-time changes of the 131I-hippurate-clearance indicate diminished perfusion of the kidney when it is moving downward. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Bei 65 Patienten mit ein- oder beidseitiger Nephroptose wurde die seitengetrennte 131J-Hippuran-Clearance im Rahmen der Kamera-Funktions-Szintigraphie bestimmt. Bei 65% der Senknieren war die Clearance normal und zeigte keine lageabhängige Veränderung. Hingegen hatten 35% eine Clearance-Einschränkung gegenüber nur 17,5% in der Vergleichsgruppe der nicht mobilen kontralateralen Nieren. Ptotische Nieren wiesen in 23% eine lageabhängige Veränderung der Clearance mit Abnahme in aufrechter Position auf. Derartige kurzfristige Änderungen der 131J-Hippuran-Clearance sprechen für eine Perfusionsstörung der absinkenden Niere.
