Abstract:
The renal clearance and distribution volume of 99Tc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) and 123I-o-iodohippurate (OIH) were determined separately in six normal male volunteers using the constant infusion clearance technique in order to validate single injection clearance techniques and subsequently the normal values for these parameters. MAG3 renal clearance was 257 +/- 24 ml/min/1.73 m2, compared to the OIH clearance of 556 +/- 46 ml/min/1.73 m2 resulting in a MAG3/OIH clearance ratio of 0.47 +/- 0.06. The MAG3 and OIH apparent distribution volumes at steady-state were 14.8 +/- 3.7 and 19.4 +/- 5.3 liters, respectively, the latter value approximating the extra cellular fluid volume. Urinary excretion in the 0-30-min period after intravenous administration was 64.4 and 70.2% for MAG3 and OIH, respectively. This investigation revealed some significant differences in the normal values of the renal clearance and distribution volume of MAG3 compared with other studies.
