Renal Scans

General Information

Nuclear Medicine exams detect radioactive isotopes (tracers) given to the patient prior to the exam in order to show function of various areas within the body.

What is a Renal Scan?

Renal Scans evaluate the function of your kidneys and assess for blockage.

  • Names: Renograms, renal scan, renal baseline, renal w/lasix, renal w/diuretic, kidney scan.

  • Please provide a list of the medications you are taking.
  • You must NOT have taken your ACE inhibitor and/or ARB blood pressure medications for 48 hours prior to the study.
  • Ask your physician if you are taking anything that will interfere with this test.
