TC-99M MAG3 RENOGRAPHY IN RENAL-VEIN THROMBOSIS SECONDARY TO FINNISH-TYPE CONGENITAL NEPHROTIC SYNDROME

Scintigraphic findings in renal vein thrombosis (RVT) have been well d escribed on studies performed with Tc-99m DPTA, Tc-99m glucoheptonate, and I-131 or-thoiodohippurate. The authors could find no reports of R VT findings on Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) imaging. Tc-99m MAG3 renal scintigraphy in an infant with RVT because of Finnish-type congenital nephrotic syndrome is described. Correlative ultrasound and inferior vena cava venogram findings are presented.
