"Since 1954. radioisotope renography has been performed as a useful kidney function test in the urological field The author using Hypaque-I which has no liver interference, performed radioisotope renography on 25 cases, in which 10 cases of normal, 5 cases of obstructive uropathy, 7 cases of renal dysfunction, 1 case of acute glomerulonephritis and 2 cases of hypertensive uropathy were included In the normal cases, the Hypaque-I renogram has 3 typical segments, namely vascular segment, functional segment and evacuation phase. The vascular segment begins 8~20 seconds after a rapid intravenous injection of Hypaque-I, lasting 30-40 seconds and occurs the functional segment. The functional segment is completed within 3~10 minuets, having a peak And then, the evacuation phase appears, inclining down rapidly. In the renogram of obstructive uropathy, the vascular and functional segments are almost normal together, but the evacuation phase is either prolonged or increased In the renogram of renal dysfunction, the vascular segment is not only reduced, but also the functional segment is low and the evacuation phase shows a dull inclining curve. In the renogram of acute glomerulonephritis, shows no changes of each segment. The renogram of hypertensive uropathy represents the remarkably lower vascular and functional segments and evacuation phase than those of renal dysfunction. The Hypaque-I renogram has many practical advantage, offering rapid and immediate results, being easily performed, being non-traumatic and innocuous, making each kidney to be tested separately, being able to be repeated frequently, and being free from any preparation and anesthesia of patients."
