Abstract
Purpose: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is present in the proximal tubule cells of the kidneys. This results in high renal tracer uptake in PSMA-PET, which may contain useful information on renal function. As part of the evaluation for [177Lu]-PSMA therapies, patients undergo PSMA-PET and additional [99mTc]-mercapto-acetyltriglycine (MAG3) scintigraphy to assess renal function. Aim of this study was to evaluate estimation of renal function with [18F]-PSMA-1007-PET/CT (PSMA-PET) by comparison to timely MAG3-scintigraphies.
Materials and methods: We retrospectively investigated 73 prostate cancer patients with 93 timely available PSMA-PET/CT, MAG3-scintigraphies and serum creatinine. For determination of split renal function in PSMA-PET/CT, we evaluated the relative unilateral total renal PSMA uptake, i.e. SUVmean multiplied by the renal volume (SRFPSMA-TOTAL) and relative unilateral maximal standardized uptake value (SRFSUV). These were compared to MAG3 split renal function (SRFMAG3) using Pearson correlation and receiver operating characteristics analysis. For determination of global renal function, correlation of bilateral total renal PSMA uptake with MAG3 tubular excretion rate and serum creatinine was assessed.
Results: SRFMAG3 was strongly correlated with SRFPSMA-TOTAL (r= 0.872, p<0.001) and with SRFSUV (r=0.815, p<0.001). Relevant abnormalities of SRFMAG3 (unilateral renal function < 25 %) could be detected with sensitivities and specificities of 90% and 92% for SRFPSMA-TOTAL, and 80% and 95% for SRFSUV. Measures of absolute renal function were only weakly correlated with bilateral total renal PSMA uptake.
Conclusion: Renal [18F]-PSMA-1007 uptake allowed to quantify renal split function with good accuracy based on SRFPSMA-TOTAL or SRFSUV.
期刊介绍:
Als Standes- und Fachorgan (Organ von Deutscher Gesellschaft für Nuklearmedizin (DGN), Österreichischer Gesellschaft für Nuklearmedizin und Molekulare Bildgebung (ÖGN), Schweizerischer Gesellschaft für Nuklearmedizin (SGNM, SSNM)) von hohem wissenschaftlichen Anspruch befasst sich die CME-zertifizierte Nuklearmedizin/ NuclearMedicine mit Diagnostik und Therapie in der Nuklearmedizin und dem Strahlenschutz: Originalien, Übersichtsarbeiten, Referate und Kongressberichte stellen aktuelle Themen der Diagnose und Therapie dar.
Ausführliche Berichte aus den DGN-Arbeitskreisen, Nachrichten aus Forschung und Industrie sowie Beschreibungen innovativer technischer Geräte, Einrichtungen und Systeme runden das Konzept ab.
Die Abstracts der Jahrestagungen dreier europäischer Fachgesellschaften sind Bestandteil der Kongressausgaben.
Nuklearmedizin erscheint regelmäßig mit sechs Ausgaben pro Jahr und richtet sich vor allem an Nuklearmediziner, Radiologen, Strahlentherapeuten, Medizinphysiker und Radiopharmazeuten.
