A new technique for measuring glomerular filtration in each kidney has been developed using a scintillation camera and the 99mTc-DTPA complex. The technique has been applied to 101 children with various uropathies. Correlations with the total and separate creatinine clearance, the HgCl2 uptake test, and the maximal urinary concentration have been good. The reproducibility of the method has been satisfactory in a small number of patients. The test is particularly adapted to children because of its simplicity, reduced trauma, short duration (20 minutes) and low-radiation dose. In contrast to some other radioisotope techniques, it can be carried out in infants.
