Rapid Determination of Glomerular Filtration Rate in Infants Using Tc-99m DTPA

Rapid Determination of Glomerular Filtration Rate in Infants Using Tc-99m DTPA

Glomerular filtration rate obtained by using Tc-99m DTPA was compared with that obtained from Schwartzʼs formula using serum creatinine and length in 21 infants (age range, 3 to 348 days). The GFR (mean ± SD) obtained by Tc-99m DTPA was 76 ± 37 ml/min per 1.73m and by the Schwartz formula was 83 ± 4...

Zusammenfassung:Glomerular filtration rate obtained by using Tc-99m DTPA was compared with that obtained from Schwartzʼs formula using serum creatinine and length in 21 infants (age range, 3 to 348 days). The GFR (mean ± SD) obtained by Tc-99m DTPA was 76 ± 37 ml/min per 1.73m and by the Schwartz formula was 83 ± 49 ml/min per 1.73m. GFR by Tc-99m DTPA method overestimated GFR by 3.6% compared to the Schwartz method. The imaging technique and the advantages are discussed.
