“…Although 99m Tc-DMSA renal scintigraphy is mostly used in the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis and post-infection renal scars [9], the clinical use of captopril- or enalapril-enhanced 99m Tc-DMSA renal scan for the diagnosis of RAS (as in this case) is well documented with reasonably good sensitivity and specificity [6]. In this case possibility of bilateral RAS was first suggested by 99m Tc-DMSA renal scan and later was confirmed with other imaging modalities.…”

The authors report and discuss a case of bilateral renal artery stenosis in a hypertensive 9 year-old girl that was first suspected with 99mTechnetium-dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scintigraphy. The scintigraphy showed signs of acute renal failure while the patient was on enalapril for controlling her hypertension. Bilateral renal artery stenosis was confirmed with computed tomography angiography. Hypertension resolved after bilateral renal artery angioplasty.

We studied the ability of pre- and postcaptopril renal scintigraphy to predict renovascular disease (RVD) in children. Retrospective review of medical notes and radiology reports of all hypertensive children who had had both pre- and postcaptopril renal scintigraphy with [(99m)Tc] dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and/or [(99m)Tc] mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). 81 children aged 1-18 (median 10) years were studied with 62% (51) having a diagnosis of RVD. Main renal artery disease, intrarenal disease, and both main and intrarenal artery disease were present in 25, 14, and 12 patients respectively. The isotope study accurately diagnosed RVD, confirmed by DSA, in 47% (24 of 51) children, with eight false positive studies. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the isotope study to predict RVD were 48%, 73%, 76%, and 51%, respectively. Pre- and postcaptopril renal scintigraphy was unable to predict RVD in children.
