Renal Transit Time: Its Measurement by the ¹³¹I Hippuran Renogram

Chicago

ABSTRACT

The mean renal transit time of hippuran can be calculated from the ¹³¹I hippuran renogram, and is the common denominator which explains the occurrence of a single renogram contour in a variety of disease states. Furthermore, several well known properties of mean transit time indicate that this parameter may be useful in characterizing the effects of disease upon both the permeability of renal parenchyma and the dynamics of urine flow. Finally, mean transit time must be distinguished from the first appearance time of hippuran in the urine.
