Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the usefulness of delayed parenchymal transit time (PTT) on 99TcmDTPA diuretic renography as a predictor for functional improvement after Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).Methods Forty-seven patients (37males,10 females,age (29.7± 10.8) years) with unilateral U PJO were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent 99Tcm-DTPA diuretic renography before and after the surgery.Patient age,sex,UPJO location,surgical methods,relative renal function (RRF) of the diseased kidney (uptake ratio of UPJO kidney to both kidneys),and PTT were recorded.Delayed PTT was defined as having one of the following criteria: (1) photopenic pelvis between the second and seventh frame; (2) relatively stable tracer distribution within the kidney between the second to ninth frame with nearly unchanged kidney shape and size; (3) ever increasing activity in the parenchyma; (4) slower clearance from the parenchyma into the pelvis since the second frame compared with the contralateral healthy kidney.The relationship between the above-mentioned factors and RRF improvement (RRFpvst-surgery,-RRFpre-sugery) was analyzed.Paired t test,Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney rank sum tests and Pearson correlation analysis were used.Results The average RRF of pre-and post-surgery was (40.70± 13.30) ％ and (44.96 ± 12.60) ％,respectively (t =4.19,P ＜ 0.01).RRF improvement between the delayed group (n=16) and normal timely PTT group (n=27) was significantly different: ((11.69±6.52) ％ vs (0.48±2.98) ％,Z=-5.13,P＜0.01).The assessment of delayed or normal PTT could not be determined in 4 patients.No statistically significant differences of RRF improvement were found between pre-surgery RRF ＜ 40％ and RRF ≥ 40％ groups,between left and right UPJO groups,between open surgery and laparoscope groups,between male and female patients (Z =-1.93 to 1.25,all P＞0.05).There was no significant correlation between RRF improvement and patient age (r =0.01,P＞0.05).Conclusion Delayed PTT on 99Tcm-DTPA diuretic renography might be the predictor for functional improvement post surgery in UPJO patients.
