Renal uptake of radioactive mercury (/sup 197/HgCl/sub 2/): method for testing the functional value of each kidney. Technique--results--and clinical application in urology and nephrology
- ed.
The first three chapters consider measurement of mercury renal uptake by external counting, by quantitative scintigraphy, and by the gamma camera. Some topics discussed in the remaining 14 chapters are as follows: renal depth; phantoms; precautions regarding the liver, spleen, and intestine; stability of /sup 197/HgCl/sub 2/ solutions; use of mercury renal uptake in pediatric and adult urology; indications for mercury renal uptake in renal transplants; and appraisal of the radiological and chemical toxicity of /sup 197/HgCl/sub 2/. It was concluded that mercury renal uptake is an accurate and nontraumatizing method of measuring the functional value of each kidney. It makes it possible to determine whether a kidney is normal or pathological and to what extent its function is diminished or increased. (HLW)
