Importance of radioisotope nephrography and sequential scintigraphy of the kidney for the indication of nephropexy in ren mobilis

Findings of radioisotope nephrograms and RNG sequential scintigrams of the kidneys (NSZ) of 130 patients with mobile kidney are compared before and after nephropexy in order to show the value of the pathological findings for the indication of operative therapy. Flow impairment in vertical RNG, limitation of tubular secretion in RNG and activity depots and irregular distribution of activity in the parenchyma and system of cavities in NSZ are of special importance for the indication of nephropexy. Both examinations are suitable for follow-up checks and for the evaluation of nephropexy. (author)
