Low renal uptake of 99mTc-DMSA in patients with proximal tubular dysfunction

W H van Luÿk et al. Eur J Nucl Med. 1983.

Abstract

In nine patients with different types of proximal tubulopathy and a nearly normal glomerular filtration rate a low uptake of 99mTc-DMSA in kidneys was found. The underlying mechanism seems to be an increased urinary excretion of 99mTc-DMSA. This radiopharmaceutical might be used as a marker of proximal tubular dysfunction.
