Why the study?
Does individual kidney GFR estimation combined with captopril renography improve diagnostic sensitivity for renovascular disease compared to standard captopril renography?

Does not yet support routine IKGFR use in renography; leaves open prospective validation for renovascular disease.
Does individual kidney GFR estimation combined with captopril renography improve diagnostic sensitivity for renovascular disease compared to standard captopril renography?
Combining individual kidney GFR estimation with captopril renography significantly improves diagnostic sensitivity for bilateral and unilateral renal artery stenosis.
