(99m)Tc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scans can provide accurate diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis, its sequelae (renal scars) and differential renal function (DRF). The purposes of this retrospective study were (1) to assess the relationship between DRF obtained during acute pyelonephritis a...
