Alternating use of 123I and 131I hippuran for routine postoperative monitoring of transplanted kidneys is impracticable
- 1. Copenhagen Univ., Herlev (Denmark). Dept. of Nuclear Medicine
Description
During a 7-week period 123I hippuran was used instead of 131I hippuran for all renographies of transplanted kidneys on Wednesdays. Only in well functioning grafts with a diuresis above 2 ml/min during the examination a scintigraphic improvement of renal and upper urinary visualization was obtained. It is concluded that alternating routine use of the expensive 123I hippuran in control of renal grafts cannot be recommended. (orig.)
