ABSTRACT

Scintiphotographic studies in six patients with ureteral fistula following renal transplantation are presented. Images were obtained using 99mTc-Sn-DTPA or 131I-orthoiodohippurate. Urinary leakage was accurately detected in each case but the pattern of extravasation is highly variable. When carefully performed, radionuclide scintiphotography is a safe and effective method for detecting urinary leakage after renal transplantation.
