Renography in diagnosis and follow-up of renal vein thrombosis.
The case of a patient in whom the diagnosis of renal vein thrombosis was supported by renographic and scintigraphic patterns that disappeared several days after the initiation of heparin therapy is reported. This observation suggests that renal investigation with radionuclides can be an important aid in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with acute renal vein thrombosis.
