title: [Clinical significance of gamma camera renography in chronic renal insufficiency (author's transl)].
abstract: Gamma camera renography allows, together with renal imaging, an evaluation of individual renal function. For these examinations, J 123 orthoiodohippurate is preferred and most widely used. The results on patients with chronic renal insufficiency, including urologic and posttransplantation patients, are reported. Whereas the method is of clinical significance in evaluating posttransplantation complications and in assessing individual kidney function preoperatively in urology, as well as in monitoring therapeutic effects in the early period of renal disease, it is of limited diagnostic value in chronic renal insufficiency. In this latter regard, clinical and laboratory examinations are of primary importance.
