Kidney Depth and Isotope Renography

Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota

ABSTRACT

Kidney depths were estimated from patients at the time of renal biopsy and related to the isotope renogram. Regression equations developed by a stepwise regression analysis were evaluated.

The smallest standard error of estimate was obtained when data were plotted as a regression of height, weight and age. Our data indicate that the distance from the scintillation crystal to the probe counting surface must be at least 22 cm to achieve errors less than 10%, based on variability of the kidney in normal subjects due to inverse-square-law effects.
