[Clearance determination with 131I-labelled hippurate (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The effect of the iodine not bound to the nuclear drug 131I hippurate on nuclear medical renal diagnosis by means of whole body clearance has been investigated. The results show that whatever clearance method is used, the tubular secretion performance decreases with increasing free iodine. This results in considerable error if the free iodine in the nuclear drug is not taken into account in the clearance calculation.
