Anatrophic nephrolithotomy: preservation of renal function demonstrated by differential quantitative radionuclide renal scans

Journal Article · · J. Urol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5405342
; ; ; ;

Differential quantitative radionuclide renal scans have been used to confirm that early removal of staghorn calculi by anatrophic nephrolithotomy preserves renal parenchyma without significant renal damage by the surgical procedure. The /sup 99m/technetium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid scan was useful in predicting recovery of function in the involved kidney, while the /sup 131/iodine orthoiodohippurate scan provided a quantitative evaluation of the effect of the surgical procedure on individual kidney function. All of 13 consecutive patients evaluated by /sup 131/iodine orthoiodohippurate renal scans had stable or improved effective renal plasma flow to the involved kidney and an unchanged or improved total excretory index 6 months after nephrolithotomy.
