The interest of our group was intensified by the development of a new treatment of renal artery stenosis, balloon catheter dilatation or percutane- ous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in 1978. Our earliest results, the first report in the litterature on PTA in a group of patients with renovascular hypertension, was pu- blished in 1979 (1). This innovative way of treating patients with renal artery stenosis has led to an enthousiastic and fruitfull cooperation among the departments of radiology, nucleair medicine and nephrology. An account of the scientific cooperation of these departments on the subject of renal artery stenosis and PTA, is given in the list of publications, abstracts and full papers, to be found at the end of this thesis. This thesis comprises five reports on studies with renograms, radionuclide investigations of individual renal function in pa- tients suspected of renovascular hypertension. More informa- tion about/he radioisotope renogram is given in chapter 2. The main question was to determine wether the renogram could trace functional changes in a kidney with a stenosed artery, before and after PTA treatment. In a given patient these ._ functional changes could provide information on the signifi- cance of the artery stenosis as a cause of that patient's hyperten- i sion, and to some extend predict the bloodpressure response ! after PTA treatment. i ; An important issue in these studies is the registration of the ) renal effects created by captopril on the renogram. This drug ' with its specific inhibition of the conversion of angiotensine I to angiotensine II, amplifies the impairment of the glomerular I filtration rate (GFR) in a kidney behind a stenosis. This is . 1 ¥ attributed to the dependency of the GFR on angiotensin II in a kidney with a low perfusion pressure: converting enzyme inhi- bition disturbs the angiotensin Il-dependent autoregulation of the GFR (2). A short overview of the pathophysiology of autoregulation of renal blood flow and GFR with emphasis on the contribution of angiotensin II, is given in chapter 3. As shown in our studies, captopril-induced deterioration of the GFR can be shown by renography, especially when it occurs in only one of two kidneys and for that reason does escape detection by overall renal function studies. Our group has introduced the captopril-induced change in the renogram as a test for a functional renal artery stenosis (3,4). This test can detect abnormalities in flow as well as in renal renin activity, two main components of the sequence of events that are thought to be of importance in the causation of renovascular hypertension. Questions posed in this thesis. 1. Is it possible to predict the effect of PTA on bloodpressure by the 131 I-hippurate renogram. 2. Does the 131 I-hippurate renogram change after PTA, and is this change related to the blood pressure response to PTA. 3. Are renograpic methods able to demonstrate captopril-in- duced unilateral changes in renal function in a patient with renovascular hypertension. 4. Do captopril induced changes in the renogram improve specificity or sensitivity of the renogram without captopril for the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension. 5. Do what extent can patients with hypertension and one very poorly perfused kidney (one that has relative hippura- te uptake of that kidney /total renal uptake of 25% as shown by renography) benefit from PTA treatment.

CHAPTER 2 The radioisotope renogram In 1956 Taplin and Winter (1) developed the radioisotope renogram as a test to detect unilateral renal artery disease in hypertensive patients. They interpreted the time activity curves by a visual comparison of the two tracings and this method is still widely utilized. However differences in interpretation of this qualitative method have led to more objective quantitative interpretations of the various parameters derived from these curves. There are divergent opinions about criteria to be employed in interpretation of renogram curves. Unavoidable technical dif- ficulties and lack of an accepted standardized technique may partially account for discrepancy in published results. This was especially true when single probes were placed above each kidney, but thickness of body wall, size of renal pelvis and asymmetric rate of pelvic emptying, especially when the diure- sis is slow, are still causing considerabel variations in the amplitudo and shape of the curves in a normal individual. In a overview of 12 studies false positive renograms were reported in 20% (range 0 - 33%) of 357 patients with essentiel hyperten- sion, true positive tests in 84% (range 54 -100%) of 348 patients with proven renal artery stenosis (2). Over the passed decade, the use of more advanced gamma camera equipment and computer system enabling accurate background subtraction have improved the accuracy of reno- graphy to such extent that measurment of divided renal func- tion has achieved a high level of reliability (1,3,4).
