[Renoscintigraphy in the differential diagnosis of arterial hypertension]
Abstract:
Altogether 244 persons were examined. Of them 221 patients suffered from the syndrome of arterial hypertension, 23 were controls. Standard renoscintigraphy with 131I-hippuran was performed in all the patients. Routine indices: Tmax, T1/2 and T delta (RP retention mean time) were used as criteria for the assessment of renograms. The diagnostic accuracy of disorders of renal excretory function in patients with arterial hypertension by the results of assessment of renograms using routine indices was 65% only. The introduction of a new index T delta made it possible to raise the accuracy of examination by 35% as a result of the diagnosis of disorders of central hemodynamics.
