Estimating the effective renal plasma flow from the hippurate renogram.
A method for estimating the effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) from renograms is presented. Renograms obtained in 91 patients were used to test the method. The clearance values derived from renography were compared with those obtained with infusion clearance. It was shown that the ERPF was able to be estimated from the renogram with a standard error of +/- 94 ml min-1.
