Figure 1.

First renal scintigraphy with Chlormerodrin (²⁰³Hg), showing (A) rather less clear images shortly after transplantation, while in a long-term follow-up after 63 days (B), a “great improvement in the renal contours“ was noted by Figueroa et al ¹. Red arrows indicate uptake in the bladder. In (C), a renal scan of patient 5 days after transplantation is displayed and the scan showed “negative contrast” with almost no uptake in the kidney. The patient died 8 days later. Adapted with permission from ¹, copyright 1965 NEJM Massachusetts Medical Society.
