The physiological basis of renal nuclear medicine.
Renal physiology underpins renal nuclear medicine, both academic and clinical. Clearance, an important concept in renal physiology, comprises tissue uptake rate of tracer (tissue clearance), disappearance rate from plasma (plasma clearance), appearance rate in urine (urinary clearance) and disappearance rate from tissue. In clinical research, steady-state plasma clearances of para-amino-hippurate and inulin have been widely used to measure renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), respectively. Routinely, GFR is measured at non-steady state as plasma clearance of a filtration agent, such as technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid. Scaled to three-dimensional whole body metrics rather than body surface area, GFR in women is higher than in men but declines faster with age. Age-related decline is predominantly from nephron loss. Tubular function determines parenchymal transit time, which is important in renography, and the route of uptake of technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid, which is via filtration. Resistance to flow is defined according to the pressure-flow relationship but in renography, only transit time can be measured, which, being equal to urine flow divided by collecting system volume, introduces further uncertainty because the volume is also unmeasurable. Tubuloglomerular feedback governs RBF and GFR, is regulated by the macula densa, mediated by adenosine and renin, and can be manipulated with proximal tubular sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. Other determinants of renal haemodynamics include prostaglandins, nitric oxide and dopamine, while protein meal and amino acid infusion are used to measure renal functional reserve. In conclusion, for measuring renal responses to exogenous agents, steady-state para-amino-hippurate and inulin clearances should be replaced with rubidium-82 and gallium-68 EDTA for measuring RBF and GFR.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine Communications, the official journal of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, is a rapid communications journal covering nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with radionuclides, and the basic supporting sciences. As well as clinical research and commentary, manuscripts describing research on preclinical and basic sciences (radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, radiobiology, radiopharmacology, medical physics, computing and engineering, and technical and nursing professions involved in delivering nuclear medicine services) are welcomed, as the journal is intended to be of interest internationally to all members of the many medical and non-medical disciplines involved in nuclear medicine. In addition to papers reporting original studies, frankly written editorials and topical reviews are a regular feature of the journal.
