Description

In this report 39 patients had their GFR assessed by 51Cr-EDTA in a single shot-multiple sampling technique and also by measuring the quantitative renal uptake of 99mTc-DTPA during a standard renal imaging test. The results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.96 between the two techniques. By using linear regression analysis the GFR was derived from the % renal uptake of DTPA in a further series of 24 patients in whom the 51Cr-EDTA method was also employed. The two methods were compared and showed a correlation coefficient of 0.94 with a mean GFR difference of 7 ± 4.5 ml/min over a 51Cr-EDTA range of 38-150 ml/min. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Bei 39 Patienten wurde der GFR durch mehrfache Blutproben im fallenden Blutspiegel nach Bolusinjektion von 31Cr-EDTA bestimmt im Vergleich zu einem quantitativen renalen 99mTc-DTPA-Uptake im Rahmen der Standard-Szintigraphie. Beide Verfahren korrelierten mit r = 0,96. Bei weiteren 24 Untersuchungen ergab sich wiederum ein r = 0,94 mit mittleren GFR-Abweichungen von 7 ± 4,5 ml/min ueber einen GFR-Bereich von 38-150 ml/min (51Cr-EDTA-Clearance). (orig.)
