Dr. Joseph Accurso answered

Specializes in Radiology

If I understand the: Question correctly, the right kidney renogram shows decreased uptake of tracer, which means decreased kidney function, possibly chronic renal disease. Please discuss with your doctor, as this appearance needs to be correlated with your medical condition and the reason your doctor ordered the test.
