title: [Possible correlations between kidney movement and hypertension (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors report the first data relating to their research carried out with the intention of showing the possible correlations between pathological kidney movement and so-called essential hypertension. The study of the kidneys has been carried out with 99mTc-DMSA, using multiple projections both in upright and prone positions. Furthermore, the appropriate renogram has been carried out for each patient. In the light of the obtained data the AA. point that in the majority of hypertensive patients personally examined (80.5%) there was a pathological renal movement, most often bilateral (22%) or affecting the right kidney (17.1%), with which variations were often associated, especially in the second stage of the renograph. The authors underline the importance of this type of investigation, which will be further extended by the associated use of 99mTc-Ca-Glucoheptonate.
