(99m)Tc-DTPA renal dynamic imaging method may be unsuitable to be used as the reference method in investigating the validity of CDK-EPI equation for determining glomerular filtration rate.

(99m)Tc-DTPA renal dynamic imaging method may be unsuitable to be used as the reference method in investigating the validity of CDK-EPI equation for determining glomerular filtration rate.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the measurements of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) determined by (99m)Tc-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid ((99m)Tc-DTPA) renal dynamic imaging with those estimated by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CDK-EPI) equation and to identify a more accurate meas...
