REGIONAL (COMPARTMENTAL) RENOGRAM FOR HYPERTENSION EVALUATION

YEN WANG M.D., D.SC.(MED.)

Some specific findings caused by partial ligation of the renal artery, vein or ureter were demonstrated on the "regional" renogram in a series of dog experiments: (1) a predominant change due to partial renal artery ligation was noted in the middle renogram; (2) a slowly rising linear curve in the outer renogram and a flattening linear curve in the inner renogram were more specific for renal vein ligation; (3) a slowly rising linear curve in the inner renogram was specific for obstructive uropathy.

A comparison of the regional renogram and the conventional renogram was made in a group of 44 patients with known hypertension and revealed the regional renogram to be more sensitive and specific for evaluating the cases of renal hypertension.
