[123I-OIH renoscintigraphy in children with chronic disorder of glomerulus].
To evaluate the usefulness of 123I-orthoiodohippurate (OIH) renography, 31 patients with chronic disorder of glomerulus, from 5 years to 15 years old, were studied. In chronic glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome with resistance to steroid therapy, Tmax and T 1/2 of the time-activity curve were statistically prolonged. Most of the renograms (time-activity curves) of the patients showed the hypofunction pattern. In most of the patients, other laboratory data, including BUN, PSP test and creatine clearance, didn't show abnormal values. 123I-OIH scan was considered to be a sensitive and useful method to evaluate the renal function in pediatric patients with chronic glomerulonephritis.
