What is a DMSA renal scan?

A DMSA renal scan, or Dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan, is a nuclear imaging test that evaluates the structure and function of the kidneys. It uses a small amount of radioactive material that is injected into a vein and is taken up by the kidneys, allowing for detailed imaging to assess renal function and detect any abnormalities such as scarring, tumors, or congenital anomalies.

How should I prepare for a DMSA renal scan?

Preparation for a DMSA renal scan may vary, but generally, patients are advised to hydrate well prior to the scan and inform their doctor of any medications they are taking, especially those that may affect kidney function. It’s also important to discuss any recent illnesses or conditions that could impact the procedure.

Is the DMSA renal scan safe?

Yes, a DMSA renal scan is considered a safe procedure. The amount of radiation exposure is low, and the benefits of accurate kidney function assessment generally outweigh any potential risks. However, it’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider regarding any concerns you may have.

How long does the DMSA renal scan take?

The actual imaging process for a DMSA renal scan typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes. However, the entire visit may take longer due to the preparation and waiting time for the radiotracer to be absorbed by the kidneys.
