Gamma-camera scintigraphy and renal angiography after transplantation. 1975

L Wibell, and L Frödin, and H Lodin, and H Wicklund

Gamma-camera scintigraphy with a 99Tcm-Fe-ascorbic acid complex was used routinely to study the graft in the course of kidney transplantations. Renal angiography was only performed when judged to be necessary for the evaluation of present complications. For comparison, between the findings obtained on the same clinical occasion by scintigraphy and angiography respectively, 39 angiographical studies were available. Early after transplantation scintigraphy better than angiography appeared to predict a poor prognosis of the graft. Both methods were able to detect major vascular occlusions. For the study of the renal vessels during a course of chronic rejection it was necessary to perform angiography as also for e.g. the recognition of renal artery stenosis or an arterial aneurysma.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D011859 Radiography Examination of any part of the body for diagnostic purposes by means of X-RAYS or GAMMA RAYS, recording the image on a sensitized surface (such as photographic film). Radiology, Diagnostic X-Ray,Roentgenography,X-Ray, Diagnostic,Diagnostic X-Ray,Diagnostic X-Ray Radiology,X-Ray Radiology, Diagnostic,Diagnostic X Ray,Diagnostic X Ray Radiology,Diagnostic X-Rays,Radiology, Diagnostic X Ray,X Ray Radiology, Diagnostic,X Ray, Diagnostic,X-Rays, Diagnostic
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph. Gamma Camera Imaging,Radioisotope Scanning,Scanning, Radioisotope,Scintigraphy,Scintiphotography,Imaging, Gamma Camera,Imaging, Radionuclide
D012077 Renal Artery A branch of the abdominal aorta which supplies the kidneys, adrenal glands and ureters. Arteries, Renal,Artery, Renal,Renal Arteries
D012078 Renal Artery Obstruction Narrowing or occlusion of the RENAL ARTERY or arteries. It is due usually to ATHEROSCLEROSIS; FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA; THROMBOSIS; EMBOLISM, or external pressure. The reduced renal perfusion can lead to renovascular hypertension (HYPERTENSION, RENOVASCULAR).

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
