Computed tomography and positron emission tomography with 18F-FDG can help in the differential diagnosis of kidney hypoplasia and scarring

AIM: PET/CT evaluation of the energy metabolism of 18F-FDG in the normal kidney parenchyma, as well as in patients with a newly diagnosed renal hypoplasia or scarring was performed.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Among 30 patients who volunteered to undergo a whole-body PET/CT, in 2 (6.7%) cases an asymptomatic decrease in the kidney size was found.

RESULTS: In the framework of this work, an attempt was made to determine a standard approach to visual and mathematical PET/CT assessment of the energy metabolism of 18F-FDG in the normal renal parenchyma and patients with a newly diagnosed renal hypoplasia or scarring.

CONCLUSION: The obtained visual and digital data can be used to decide on the feasibility and mapping of a renal biopsy.
