[Value of kidney perfusion scintigraphy in the diagnosis of hypertension]

The investigation findings of radionephrography, sequence scintigraphy and renovasography of 35 patients with hypertension were compared with the results of the renal perfusion scintigraphy. In chronic inflammatory renal diseases, stenoses of the renal arteries and space-occupying processes a good correlation of the findings is the result. The results of the investigations allow of the conclusion that the renal perfusion scintigraphy gives the possibility of a more aimed use of the angiography in the clarification of the renal cause of a hypertension.
