[|Human|] DMSA test findings:Right kidney appears normal in placement. Cortical uptake is good. A peripheral wedge shaped defect is seen at the interpolar region with loss of cortical volume. Tracer distribution in rest of the kidney is homogenous.What is the meaning of this?What is the cause for this & what is the right treatment ?
[|AI|]  Good Day! The peripheral wedge shaped defect at the lower part of your kidney simply means that there is scar formation on your right kidney at the lower part. The most common cause of this is infection of the kidney or pyelonephritis. Unfortunately there is no treatment to repair the scar in your kidney. The restaff your right kidney still has adequate function proven by good cortical uptake.  Chat Doctor.  I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for.
