Accurate assessment of long-term nephrotoxicity after peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with 177 Lu-octreotate
2014
Purpose
Renal radiation during peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) may result in glomerular damage, a potential reduction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and ultimately lead to renal failure. While reported PRRT nephrotoxicity is limited to data derived from serum creatinine—allowing only approximate estimates of GFR—the aim of this study is to accurately determine PRRT-induced long-term changes of renal function and associated risk factors according to state-of-the-art GFR measurement.
