Abstract

Purpose: To determine appropriate sampling frequency and time of multiple blood sampling dual exponential method with $^{99m}Tc$-DTPA for calculating glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Materials & Methods: Thirty four patients were included in this study. Three mCi of $^{99m}Tc$-DTPA was intravenously injected and blood sampling at 9 different times, 5ml each, were done. Using the radioactivity of serum, measured by gamma counter, the GFR was calculated using dual exponential method and corrected with the body surface area. Using spontaneously chosen 2 data points of serum radioactivity, 15 collections of 2-sample GFR were calculated. And 10 collections of 3-sample GFR and 12 collections of 4-sample GFR were also calculated. Using the 9-sample GFR as a reference value, degree of agreement was analyzed with Kendall's $\tau$ correlation coefficients, mean difference and standard deviation. Results: Although some of the 2-sample GFR showed high correlation coefficient, over or underestimation had evolved as the renal function change. The 10-120-240 min 3-sample GFR showed a high correlation coefficient (${\tau}=0.93$), minimal difference ($Mean{\pm}SD=-1.784{\pm}3.972$), and no over or underestimation as the renal function changed. The 4-sample GFR showed no better accuracy than the 3-sample GFR. Conclusions: In the wide spectrum of renal function, the 10-120-240 min 3-sample GFC could be the best choice for estimating the patients' renal function.

목적 : 다중 채혈 이중지수법을 이용한 사구체여과율의 계산에 정확도와 편리성을 고려한 적정 채혈 횟수 및 시간을 선정하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 :총 34명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. $^{99m}Tc$-DTPA 3 mCi를 정맥주사 후, 총 9회, 각각 5 ml의 혈액을 채혈하였다. 혈장의 방사능을 감마카운터에서 측정하여 이중지수 분석법으로 사구체여과율을 계산하였고 체표 면적으로 보정하였다. 두 가지 시간대의 혈장 방사능을 이용한 15 조합의 2회 채혈 사구체여과율을 계산하였고 10 조합의 3회 채혈 사구체여과율과 12 조합의 4회 채혈 사구체여과율 또한 계산하였다. 계산된 각각의 사구체여과율들과 기준값인 9회 채혈 사구체여과율의 일치도는 Kendall $\tau$ 상관 계수, 그리고 기준값과의 평균차와 표준편차를 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 2회 채혈 사구체 여과율은 높은 상관관계를 보이더라도 신기능의 변화에 따라 과대 또는 과소 평가되는 오류가 발생하였다. 3회 채혈 사구체여과율 중, 10-120-240분의 3회 채혈 사구체여과율이 높은 상관관계를 보이며 신기능의 변화에도 오류의 발생이 매우 적었다. 4회 채혈 사구체여과율은 3회 채혈 사구체여과율과 비교하여 정확성이 우월하지는 않았다. 결론: 신기능의 변화에도 불구하고 오류의 발생이 적은 10-120-240분의 3회 채혈 사구체여과율을 이용하여 환자의 신기능을 가장 정확하게 평가할 수 있을 것이다.
