    This study analyzed isotope renograms in patients with mobile kidneys, identifying three types of floating kidneys. Certain types correlated with abnormal renograms and hypertension.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Mobile kidneys (nephroptosis) can cause functional disturbances.
    • Renal mobility assessment is crucial for understanding kidney function.
    • Isotope renography is a valuable tool for evaluating renal dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate isotope renograms in patients with mobile kidneys in different body positions.
    • To correlate renal movement patterns with renographic changes.
    • To classify types of nephroptosis based on mobility and functional impact.

    Main Methods:

    • Isotope renography performed on 87 patients (93 mobile kidneys) in prone and upright positions.
    • Scintiphotography used to quantify the extent of renal movement.

  • Comparison of transient positional abnormalities with position-dependent renogram alterations.

    • Main Results:

    • Three distinct types of floating kidney were identified, each with characteristic motion.
    • Position-dependent functional disturbances were observed and linked to specific kidney types.
    • A specific form, ptosis with ventral rotation, frequently showed 2nd phase renogram abnormalities and was associated with hypertension.

    Conclusions:

    • Mobile kidneys exhibit characteristic movement patterns affecting renal function.
    • Isotope renography effectively differentiates functional disturbances related to nephroptosis.
    • Ptosis with ventral rotation represents a specific subtype of renal ptosis linked to renogram abnormalities and hypertension.
