Overview
Postnatal renal scintigraphy in patients with unilateral renal agenesis (URA) shows no renal function and may be helpful in differentiating unilateral renal agenesis (URA) from multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) or renal ectopia.
Other Imaging Findings
- Postnatal 99mTc-diethylene triaminepentaacetic acid renal scintigraphy in patients with unilateral renal agenesis (URA) shows no renal function.[1]
- Postnatal renal scintigraphy may be helpful in differentiating unilateral renal agenesis (URA) from multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK), renal aplasia or renal ectopia.[2]
