Abstract

It is sought for alternative methods for the endogenous creatinine clearance as parameters for the GFR. For this purpose served investigations with Tc-99m-Sn-DTPA. It was found a good reproducibility for the slope clearance with 3 blood takings between 60 and 120 minutes. When combined with the camera function scintigraphy a side-separated quantitative statement of the clearance equivalent is possible. The inulin clearance serves as reference method. The investigations at the gamma-camera with Tc-99m-Sn-DTPA also allow the determination of the perfusion which is particularly of interest in patients with hypertension. According to the comparison at the gamma camera a diagnostic schema is recommended.
