AB We have evaluated Tc-99m glucoheptonate for use in renal transplants. We find it detects such surgical complications as urinary extravasation, lymphocele, and postrenal obstruction. The scintigrams were of excellent quality. Functional evaluation of nonsurgical complications was not possible. Whenever both structural and functional information is desired, it may be wise to perform studies with both glucoheptonate and orthoiodohippurate.
