    A new radio-isotopic technique accurately measures split renal function. This method assesses pre-operative residual kidney function and post-operative compensatory hypertrophy following nephrectomy or urinary tract surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Renal physiology
    • Surgical outcomes

    Background:

    • Assessing split renal function is crucial for pre-operative planning and post-operative monitoring.
    • Radio-isotopic techniques offer a non-invasive method for evaluating kidney function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel radio-isotopic method for determining split renal function.
    • To assess residual renal function before nephrectomy.
    • To monitor compensatory renal hypertrophy and functional recovery after urinary tract surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • A radio-isotopic technique using FG Hipaque I131 and PRP Hippuran I131 was employed.
    • Split renal function was determined in 20 cases.
    • Studies included pre-operative and post-operative assessments.

    Main Results:

    • The radio-isotopic method effectively determined split renal function.
    • Marked compensatory hypertrophy was observed after nephrectomy (total or partial).
    • Prompt restoration of kidney function was noted after urinary tract procedures, provided infection was avoided.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel radio-isotopic technique is valuable for assessing split renal function.
    • Compensatory renal hypertrophy and functional recovery are significant post-nephrectomy and post-urinary tract surgery.
    • Preventing acute infection is key to successful functional restoration.
