ラジオアイソトープによる腎機能の研究(ラジオアイントープ レノグラム)--第一報--

Abstract

Ever since radioactive Diodrast Renogram was reported in 1955 by Ta p lin and others, it has prosperously been studied. This radioactive Diodr a st renogram is a new renal function test to clarify renal vascularity, tuber function and ureteral excretory function with I131. In our country it has not been reported as yet, but recently we have experimented by using one unit scintillation counter and recording equipment. We studied on the "unilateral radiorenogram", and obtained a characteristic pattern of the radiorenogram of normal kindney, compensatory renal hyperplasia of patients nephrectomised and hydronephrosis etc. From our studies comparing with both side renogram, we found our renograms had some faults and incoveniences. But, we came to the conculsion that the unilateral radiorenogram is just as helpful to understand the renal function. Studies are now in progress, and we would like t o report further on the studies of collimator, analysis of the curve and estabishment of clininical application etc. in our next proceeding report.
