Practical Method for Calculation of Graft Index in Renal Transplant Scintigraphy: A Technical Note
1From the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Ege University Medical Faculty, Izmir, Turkey.
Abstract:
Some quantitative indices have been described for renal transplant scintigraphy in evaluating graft dysfunction, some medical complications, and in predicting early and delayed graft function and long-term graft prognosis. Graft index is very useful and more accurate than many other indices in the prediction of delayed graft function and long-term prognosis. In this technical note, the method of calculation of graft index is shown in detail for the authors who want to use this index in further studies or in clinical practice.

Renal Drug Clearance: Comparison Between Renal Excretion Methods
Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...
