Powe, NR, and Boulware, LE. "The uneven distribution of kidney transplants: getting at the root causes and improving care". American Journal of Kidney Diseases : the Official Journal of the National Kidney Foundation 40, no. 4 (October 2002): 861-863.
The distribution of kidney cadmium concentrations was skewed, with about 3.9% of the 2,700 samples > 50 μg/g kidney cortex wet weight, although the population mean was only 19 μg/g wet weight (Lyon et al. 1999).
On the other hand, scintigraphy with Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) can provide greater detail regarding the relative distribution of kidney function; kidney perfusion as indicated by uptake of 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), imaged with scintigraphy, has been shown to correlate with relative regional function [ 13, 14].
As shown in Table 1, distribution of cause of kidney disease, kidney transplant status, and eGFR by MDRD-4 differed significantly between the two centers.
Figure 2 shows the distribution of bladder, kidney, and pancreatic cancer cases and controls in the study area.
The secondary aims are to (1) determine the cost-effectiveness of screening for CKD and (2) determine the prevalence of selected risk factors and levels of distribution of estimated kidney function in screen-detected patients.
The aim of this study was to show the spatial distribution patterns of kidney cancer in men and women, and discuss, in the light of known risk factors, possible hypotheses that would help explain these patterns and enhance existing knowledge about the large proportion of kidney tumors whose cause remains unknown.
For investigating the regional distribution of PrPSc in kidneys we separated cortex and medulla by macro-dissecting transversal sections of whole kidneys and used pooled (cortex and medulla) or separated regions for Western blot analysis.
Albumin conjugation of SN38 could not change the amount of distribution of SN38 in kidneys, heart, lung, and intestine (Pvalue > 0.05) compared to the free SN38.
