An artifactural area of increased activity over the left lumbar region was observed in the radionuclide imaging of the kidneys with /sup 131/I-o- iodohippurate. The renal scan was falsely interpreted as a functionally reduced left kidney. The following renal arteriogram shows only a right renal artery. The agenesia of the left kidney was confirmed by a laparotomy. This artifact was probably due to gastric secretion of free /sup 131/I. (auth)
