title: [Value of quantitative camera functional scintigraphy in urogenital tuberculosis].
abstract: 131-J-Hippuran dynamic camera studies were performed in 50 patients suffering from tuberculosis of the kidney. Sequential scintigraphy indicated marked defects of the parenchyma in 50%, contracted kidneys in 14% and a loss of kidney function in 22%. 58% of the tested cases showed a disturbed drainage of urine. The decrease of function of the involved kidney could be evaluated quantitatively by simultaneous measurement of the J-Hippuran-Clearance. In uro-tuberculosis the advantages of the dynamic camera studies consist in the determination of the function status of the involved and the contralateral kidney. Indications of dynamic camera studies of the kidney in urotuberculosis are: 1. prior to surgery: exact determination of the function of both kidneys, 2. following surgery and during medicamental therapy: control of the postoperative course and control of the functional status during chemotherapy.
