Measurement of effective renal plasma flow using model analysis of dynamic CT in the preoperative evaluation of the renal transplant donors

Fujita Medical Journal, 2020
Objectives: Renal scintigraphy is widely used to evaluate residual function of a transplanted kidney from the donor. Dynamic computed tomography (CT) imaging can evaluate both kidney morphology and regional renal function.

Simultaneous Measurement of Glomerular Filtration Rate, Effective Renal Plasma Flow and Tubular Secretion in Different Poultry Species by Single Intravenous Bolus of Iohexol and Para-Aminohippuric Acid

Animals, 2020
The aim of the current study was to investigate the simultaneous measurement of plasma p-aminohippuric acid (PAH) clearance as a potential marker to assess effective renal plasma flow (eRPF) and tubular secretion (TS), and the plasma clearance of iohexol

Conventional Pig as Animal Model for Human Renal Drug Excretion Processes: Unravelling the Porcine Renal Function by Use of a Cocktail of Exogenous Markers

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Over recent years, pigs have been promoted as potential animal model due to their anatomical and physiological similarities with humans. However, information about the contribution of distinct renal elimination processes [glomerular filtration rate (GFR),

Acute renal effects of the GLP-1 receptor agonist exenatide in overweight type 2 diabetes patients: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial [PDF]

, 2016
Aims/hypothesis: This study aimed to investigate the acute renal effects of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) exenatide in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: We included overweight (BMI 25–40 kg/m2) men and postmenopausal women, aged

Estimation of renal perfusion based on measurement of rubidium-82 clearance by PET/CT scanning in healthy subjects

EJNMMI Physics, 2021
Background Changes in renal blood flow (RBF) may play a pathophysiological role in hypertension and kidney disease. However, RBF determination in humans has proven difficult.

Associations of Smoking with Alterations in Renal Hemodynamics May Depend on Sex- Investigations in Potential Kidney Donors

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2013
Background/Aims: Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for renal damage, but little is known about subclinical effects of smoking on renal hemodynamics and parameters of renal function in humans.

Evaluation of feline renal perfusion with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and scintigraphy [PDF]

, 2016
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an emerging technique to evaluate tissue perfusion. Promising results have been obtained in the evaluation of renal perfusion in health and disease, both in human and veterinary medicine. Renal scintigraphy using Tc-

177Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy in patients with borderline low and discordant renal parameters: Treatment feasibility assessment by sequential estimation of triple parameters and filtration fraction

World Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2018
The aim was to assess the effect of standard fixed-dose protocol of 177Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in patients with borderline low renal function of one parameter (glomerular filtration rate [GFR], effective renal plasma flow

A Systematic Review of Renal Functional Reserve in Adult Living Kidney Donors

Kidney International Reports, 2020
Introduction: The kidney’s capacity to increase its glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in response to a higher functional demand is known as the renal functional reserve (RFR).
