title: [Bone scintigraphy in evaluation of the effect of renal transplantation in patients with renal osteodystrophy].
abstract: Bone scintigraphy before and after renal transplantation was studied in 14 patients with renal osteodystrophy. The radionuclide distribution patterns visualized on the images before transplantation were classified into two groups; one group with markedly increased tracer uptake throughout the whole skeleton, especially in the skull, another group with prominent tracer uptake in the soft tissues. These abnormal tracer accumulations improved after renal transplantation. Bone scintigraphy before and after renal transplantation provides useful information concerning the follow-up of patients with renal osteodystrophy.
