Background 51Cr-EDTA GFR estimation • Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be accurately determined using 51Cr-EDTA plasma clearance counting • Wide variety of indications • Disadvantages • time consuming • dependent on collection accuracy • requires a well counter • cannot imaging • no split or regional renal function EDTA: ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
68Ga-EDTA renal imaging PET-CT images demonstrating rapid glomerular filtration of 68Ga-EDTA by kidneys following injection into the tail vein
Background & Aim Background • 68Ga-EDTA is readily available using an onsite generator • PET/CT enables tomographic dynamic imaging and accurate camera-based quantitation Aims • Primary aim: to assess agreement between 68Ga-EDTA (GaGFR) and 51Cr-EDTA studies (CrGFR), using serial plasma sampling and PET/CT imaging. • Secondary aim: to assess utility in assessing differential renal function by assessing agreement with 99mTc-DMSA planar and SPECT/CT imaging
Methods Protocol
Methods Data collection & analysis • PET analysis • Plasma analysis • Clearance using 3 time points: • Excretion @ 10-19 mins • Early renal excretion 2-10 minutes • Renal cortical activity @ 2 minutes • MARVN Software • 68Ga counting(Biodex 950 well counter) • 51Cr counting after positron decay(WallacWizard 1470) • Level of agreement • Bland-Altman plot • Pearsons correlation coefficient (PCC)
Methods 68Ge/68Ga generator 68Ga eluted from onsite generator (IBD Holland) 68Ga-EDTA: quick, easy, cheap
