Abstract
Renal cortical imaging with Tc-99m-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has become the imaging test of choice for the diagnosis of acute pyeloneph ritis. An unusual uptake pattern was observed in a child receiving che motherapy for a bladder rhabdomyosarcoma. Chemotherapy from ifosfamide produces a specific pattern of injury to the renal tubule that alters uptake of DMSA.
