Renal artery stenosis diagnosed with Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy.
Captopril-enhanced renal scintigraphy with Tc-99m DMSA was performed in an 11-year-old boy with hypertension. This showed a significant reduction in function of the right kidney. Renal arteriography was performed and showed two renal arteries on the right, the major one with stenosis. This case illustrates the possible role that scintigraphy with Tc-99m DMSA can play in the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension.
