ABSTRACT
Forty-two patients were evaluated pre- and postextracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) using [99mTc]DTPA renography. A quantitative evaluation showed that the relative renal function decreased 2-3 days post-ESWL on the treated side, and the parenchymal transit time index (PTTI) increased 2-3 days post-ESWL (p less than 0.001) on the treated side and returned to the pretreatment level by 3 wk post-ESWL. The untreated side showed an increase in PTTI 2-3 days post-ESWL (p less than 0.01), which returned to normal by 3 wk post-ESWL. A significantly greater increase in PTTI was seen in patients who received greater than 1,000 shocks as compared with those who received less than 1,000 shocks. Five patients developed obstructing uropathy post-ESWL, when stone fragments caused ureteric obstruction.
