We studied 23 patients with suspected renal hypertension, including 12 with renal artery stenosis, or occlusion. Total effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) was measured in all patients by conventional p-aminohippurate (PAH) clearance and by 123I-hippuran clearance performed on the same day. A close correlation between the two techniques was obtained (r = 0.87, P less than 0.001) with the latter technique underestimating the former by a mean ratio of 0.89:1.00. We describe a technique for deriving ERPF for individual kidneys by 123I-hippuran renography, and the data obtained by this method correlate well with data obtained from bilateral ureteric catheterization studies (r = 0.076, P less than 0.001 for both affected and unaffected sides) in 17 patients. The renographic technique is particularly accurate in quantitating ERPF in the 12 patients with renal artery stenosis, and is recommended as the investigation of choice in the assessment of ERPF in patients with this condition.
