The effective renal plasma flow (ERPF), the rate of glomerular filtration and filtration fraction were investigated in 48 patients with nephrogenic hypertension (NH) using the method of dynamic renoscintigraphy with a double label (131I-hippuran and 99mTc-DTPA). The proposed method of noninvasive combined assessment of renal function was shown to be simple to perform and permitted the determination of a degree of involvement of the glomerular and tubular apparatus of the kidneys in NH. The comparison of renoscintigraphic and histomorphological results made it possible to determine renoscintigraphic criteria of glomerulo- and nephrosclerosis.
