Comparison of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with Tc-99m-DTPA and tubular extraction rate (TER) with Tc-99m-MAG3 in potential living kidney donors: Feasibility of a one-day protocol

Sufficient glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is mandatory in living kidney donors (LKD) before renal transplantation (RT). Guidelines recommend exogenous GFR (e. g. Tc-99m-DTPA) besides estimated GFR by plasma creatinine (eGFR). Tc-99m-MAG3 determines split function and tubular extraction rate (TER). This study evaluated a time-efficient one-day protocol for DTPA and MAG3 in potential LKD. Retrospective analysis of 82 consecutive potential LKD...
