Good correlation of glomerular filtration rate measured isotopically from plasma disappearance of Tc-99m-DTPA was shown with inulin clearance, creatinine clearance, and graded radionuclide imaging. The isotopic GFR is a simple, urineless technique not requiring continuous infusion that enables one to perform simultaneous renal imaging with one radiotracer.
