Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
1. Ga-68 EDTA PET/CT scan (15-20 minute duration)
2. Small blood sample taken at several time points (2, 3, 4hrs) to count radioactivity which is used to determine renal function
Intervention code [1] 287143 0
Diagnosis / Prognosis
Comparator / control treatment
Conventional Cr-51 EDTA GFR plasma clearance. The same blood samples taken to count Ga-68 radioactivity, is also used to count Cr-51, so both can be directly compared.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 289569 0
Compare Ga-68 EDTA PET/CT calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with results of Cr-51 EDTA. The GFR is calculated from the blood samples taken, and also from the PET scan.
Timepoint [1] 289569 0
Single time-point
Secondary outcome [1] 302749 0
Correlate assessment of differential or regional renal function with results of prior renal imaging. The contribution of each kidney to overall kidney function can be calculated from the PET scan. This will be compared to any prior tests that been performed for this purpose, usually a Tc-99m DMSA planar or SPECT/CT scan.
Timepoint [1] 302749 0
Single time-point
