Abstract
Every impairment of the kidneys' blood supply, and the production or excretion of urine, is reflected by abnormal renograms that are not specific enough in the information they provide. The subsequent performance of renal scans with Hippuran {sup 131}I adds information to the topographical distribution of the Hippuran {sup 131}I in the renal parenchyma, and to the dynamics of its transport through the urinary system. The information thus obtained is valuable in itself and is necessary for the correct interpretation of renography. We have found this specially useful in the follow-up of the transplanted kidneys. In cases of anuria following renal transplantation, the renogram is useful for indicating that renal circulation is present in the transplanted kidney but is inadequate as a method to differentiate between other renal and post-renal causes of anuria. The anuric transplanted kidney should be scanned thirty minutes after the injection of Hippuran {sup 131}I. Patterns of complementary results of renograms and renal scannings are presented that correspond to prerenal, renal and postrenal causes of anuria, with all the important therapeutic implications this differential diagnosis has.
