Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of hydronephrosis volume measured by 64 slice CT scan, evaluating renal function in patients with obstructive hydronephrosis.Methods The patients performed with both single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) renal dynamic imaging and 64 slice CT scan in three days were chosen, 176 cases included finally.The images of renal dynamic imaging were divided into normal renal function group, mild renal impairment group, moderate renal impairment group and severe renal impairment group according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measured by SPECT.At the same time, CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique has been used to measure the volume of hydronephrosis, compare the differences of hydronephrosis volume among these groups, and future analyze the correlation of hydronephrosis volume with renal GFR value.Results The hydronephrosis volume of the four groups were respectively (31.47±3.81) cm3,(83.43±7.81) cm3,(208.53±15.47) cm3 and (577.31±61.32) cm3.There was statistical significance among these groups (P<0.01),except between normal renal function group and mild renal impairment group.The volume of hydronephrosis showed positive correlations with renal GFR (r=-0.614).Conclusion The volume of hydronephrosis measured by 64 slice CT has positive correlation with GFR measured by SPECT, which could reflect renal function to some extent.
