1. Renal Function Examination: the advantage of renal ECT is that it is not necessary to make intubation tube in ureters for the purpose of exam the renal functions. Glomerular Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome, and primary Hypertension and so on often cause the damage of double kidneys, therefore, the renal image shows the damage of renal functions of double kidneys. Renal ECT can help the diagnosis of the above diseases, make sure the degree of renal damage and the stage of Chronic Kidney Disease.
2. The Diagnosis of Obstruction of Upper Urinary Tract: the precision rate of the diagnosis of obstruction of upper urinary tract is over 80%-90%.
3. The Diagnosis of Vascular Hypertension of Unilateral Kidney: Hypertension caused by kidneys can be divided into Vascular Hypertension and Hypertension caused by Chronic Kidney Disease(High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease). If there is insufficiency of blood perfusion in unilateral kidney, and the renal image is much smaller than the other one’s, it is possible of Vascular Hypertension。
4.Detection of Kidney Transplant: the main complications after kidney transplant are Acute Tubule Necrosis and Rejection Responding. Because that renal ECT can show all the conditions of foregoing parts of kidneys, kidneys, and post parts of kidneys with no physical damage. Renal ECT has been considered into the necessary test for kidney transplant. The first test is within 24hs after kidney transplant. If the test result is normal, that means the success of kidney transplant. If the test results shows that there is no blood perfusion and there is abnormal renal functions within few hours after kidney transplant, the transplanted kidney must be removed out of body. The second test is taken within 5 to 6 days in order to find the acute rejection reaction. As a result, patients can find the complications timely and get the proper treatment.
