Radioisotopic Determination of Glomerular Filtration Rate

Abstract
Radioisotopic determination of glomerular filtration rate in 263 patients is presented. The isotope that is most workable is 99mTc diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid. The technique meets all the criteria for glomerular filtration rate and the radiation dose is low. It has proved to be an accurate and simple procedure to perform.
