Abstract
Patients without renal disease were examined with scintillation camera renography with the bladder filled and then emptied. Bladder filling produces a renogram pattern of prolonged transit time which is reproducible with or without catheterization. Patients should be asked to void before radioisotope renography, especially when the patient is given a water load and when more than one study is being performed.
