Comparison of computer tomographic volumetry versus nuclear split renal function to determine residual renal function after living kidney donation.
CONCLUSION: Calculation of SRV from pre-donation CT examination is a valid method to estimate nSRF with good concordance with nSRF determined by renal scintigram and could replace the latter in the assessment of potential kidney donors.
