Abstract
The f i r s t attempt t o produce renal images using radionuclides was i n 1963. In 1965, radioisotopes studies were applied t o the transplanted kidney i n dog s and humans. Radionuclide procedures g e n e r a l l y a r e more s e n s i t i v e indi cators of sudden changes i n kidney function and blood flow than are serum chernistry 1 eve1 s. Furthermore, the radionucl i d e tests’ provide evidences f o r o r against intra and post renal obstruction, information which is not given by standard t e s t s of kidney function. In the management of kidney transplant r e c i p i e n t s , radioisotope procedures are considered to be more s e n s i t i v e and r e l i a b l e than other methods f o r o b t a renaning o b j e c t i v e evidence of g r a f t dysfunction. Evaluation of the r o l e of radioisotope studies i n assessment o f transplant r e c i p i e n t s and discussing the e f f i c i e n c y of the different radionuclide techniques used i n diagnosis o f post-transplantcomplications were the aims of t h i s work.
