The effect of transient renal ischemia on renal concentration and distribution of /sup 99m/Tc-HEDP, /sup 99m/Tc-DMSA, and /sup 99m/Tc-DTPA was compared in rabbits with acute tubular necrosis. Scintigrams were obtained after injection in normal rabbits or ones with unilateral or bilateral ischemia. /sup 99m/Tc-HEDP concentration in ischemic tissue was 8 to 18 times normal 1 to 4 hrs after injection, and the resulting images delineated the morphological changes in the ischemic kidneys more accurately than those obtained with DMSA or DTPA. Calcium concentration in the ischemic kidneys increased sixfold. /sup 99m/Tc-HEDP may be useful in evaluation of renal failure secondary to tubular injury.
