Value of the Filtration Fraction Assessed by Dynamic 99m Tc-Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid Renal Scintigraphy After Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibition for the Diagnosis of Renovascular Hypertension

ConclusionsThe RFF assessed by dynamic99mTc-DTPA renal scintigraphy after ACE inhibition can detect patients with high probability for RVHT. The RFF after ACE inhibition might be a useful diagnostic criterion especially when baseline scintigraphy is not available for evaluating ACE inhibition-induced changes.
