Absolute renal uptake % was found to be more reliable in cases of bilateral compromised kidneys. ARU (%) calculated by Tc-99m MAG-3 solely can be used as predictor of renal function. The use of Tc-99m MAG-3 has more advantages than Tc-99m DMSA alone in renal scintigraphy as dynamic scintigraphy gives less radiation burden to patient, more information regarding renal function, and shorter stay time at hospital in comparison to static renal imaging. SRF % is less reliable than ARU (%).
