The study was carried out with an aim to make a correlation between radionuclide renographyand biochemical test in the evaluation of renal diseases. A total of 275 patients with a history oflow back pain were included in the study. Radionuclide renography and biochemical test weredone in most of them in consecutive days. Among them, 241 patients were finally found to bepositive. Available USG, X-ray, IVU, TC, DC, ESR and Hb% findings were also correlated wellwith renogram. Renal diseases like renal stone, acute glomerulonephritis (AGN), ureteric stone,enal abscess, chronic renal failure, end stage renal disease (ESRD) and renal trauma wereound in most of the cases. In case of radionuclide renography, mild to severe renalnsufficiency found in 87.64% cases (single & bilateral) in contrast to biochemical test wherencreased blood urea/ serum creatinine found in 30.91% cases. Our study focuses themportance of renogram technique over biochemical test for precise evaluation of differentialrenal function.doi: 10.3329/taj.v16i2.3885TAJ December 2003; Vol.16(2): 65-67

A retrospective study has been conducted on 19 patients who attended at CNMU, Rajshahi withdifferentiated thyroid cancer, treated with radioiodine for ablation of residual tissue afterthyroidectomy. The patients included in this study were between 06 to 70 years of age, the meanage being about 36 years. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the response of theradioiodine therapy in patient with differentiated thyroid cancer after surgery. The incidence ofpapillary, follicular and mixed variety was found in approximately 69%, 26% and 5% casesrespectively. Result showed that the incidence of thyroid cancer were found more,approximately 58% in the age group 21-40 years. Results also showed that papillary carcinomainvolved approximately 23% in male and 77% in female. It was also found that approximately89% patients were treated successfully by single dose of radioiodine.doi: 10.3329/taj.v16i2.3882TAJ December 2003; Vol.16(2): 54-57
