Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by radionuclide tracer methods is indicated when more precise information than that provided by the measurement of creatinine clearance is required or when the latter measurement is impractical (infants and small children, incontinent patients) or likely to be unreliable (because of marked impairment of renal function or because the patient is taking medications known to interfere with the tubular secretion of creatinine). I have conflicting information and need guidance. 2 MjQ]P4srbvMF@i(,l,Ge9-TX#;Ub=8i-Msh_L8WY>bDs\`pF .eDM */cFPFE1{q'}K;*LlebV-Jr7QfigO}.>o$MkTa&6ZKyjB-XkiYj1~T*M"lEkH4pZ3>pd m EmJ+fb~v2zXcaY1YJ~d#a!Wa8}e-;F?Mo^g"[lH^~_5Fji,g/MzEVVaC R,gL\&XXAwZ+y2~ol YFcVQVTdJuT#1Or]%^L=x- #i_R61te0hHGC,08KEJDWej%b~7I_Y-M> This helps improve the diagnostic accuracy of the bone scan.
