The Association of Kidney’s GFR and Serum Creatinine Levels with Renal Scarring through 99mTc-Glucoheptonate Radiopharmaceutical Scan in Patients with Urinary Tract Infection

The Association of Kidney’s GFR and Serum Creatinine Levels with Renal Scarring through 99mTc-Glucoheptonate Radiopharmaceutical Scan in Patients with Urinary Tract Infection

Background: UTI (urinary tract infection) is a leading case of renal scarring. Most of nephrons are found in kidney cortex, so it is important for early diagnosis of scarring. In this study, we investigated if scarring affects GFR (glomerular filtration rate) and serum level of creatinine through du...
