The efficacy of five different radiodiagnostic agents for detecting renal tubular dysfunction induced with cisplatin in rats was compared to controls. Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) labeled with /sup 99m/Tc or /sup 111/In was administered simultaneously with each of the other four agents (/sup 99m/Tc)glucoheptonate, (/sup 99m/Tc)dimercaptosuccinic acid, (/sup 131/I)hippuran and (/sup 111/In)lysozyme as a standard to normalize for differences in functional impairment from animal to animal from the same dose of cisplatin. The 2-hr plasma clearance and computer-generated 2- to 3-min uptake in the two kidneys with (/sup 99m/Tc)dimercaptosuccinic acid were significantly inferior to similar measurements with the other agents in differentiating abnormal from normal function. The 2-hr uptake of (/sup 99m/Tc)glucoheptonate and (/sup 111/In)lysozyme proved of no value in this differentiation. The late renal retention of (/sup 99m/Tc)dimercaptosuccinic acid well separated the cisplatin from control rats, but the greatest difference was observed by the 2-hr uptakes of (/sup 131/I)hippuran and DTPA.
