Description

The right to left ratio in kidney function was evaluated in 145 patients by means of the secretory phase of the renogram as well as by means of the scintigraphically determined kidney volume. A good and linear correlation was found between both parameters, as far as there was no considerable obstructive uropathy. In this cases the right to left ratio in kidney volume can be directly used for judging the individual function of each kidney. The method seems to be most suitable for determining the functional portion of dystopic kidneys. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Das Links-zu-Rechtsverhaeltnis der Nierenfunktion wurde bei 145 Patienten sowohl anhand der Sekretionsphase des ING wie aus dem szintigraphisch ermittelten Nierenvolumen bestimmt. Es fand sich eine lineare Beziehung zwischen beiden Groessen mit sehr guter Korrelation, sofern keine erhebliche Harnabflussverzoegerung vorlag. Aus dem Seitenverhaeltnis der Nierenvolumina kann in diesen Faellen direkt auf den Funktionsanteil der Einzelniere rueckgeschlossen werden. Das Verfahren empfiehlt sich insbesondere fuer die Beurteilung dystoper Nieren. (orig.)
