Technetium 99m stannous glucoheptonate for renal imaging and evaluating individual renal function

; ; ;
Technetium 99m stannous glucoheptonate is a new radiopharmaceutical that, on intravenous administration, is said to be useful for kidney imaging and limited flow studies. The kidney-localizing properties of the agent may be due to binding in the proximal and distal tubule cells, and as such reflect functioning tubular mass. This mechanism is similar to that of chlormerodrin Hg 197 but delivers only 0.06% of the radiation of the mercurial compound. To test the validity of these expectations, we compared the actions of this compound to the images and functional data of 48-hr delayed chlormerodrin scans as well as conventional clearances and excretory urograms in the canine.
