Renal (DMSA) Scan

This is a test to detect any kidney tissue scarring due to previous kidney/urinary tract infection.

  • Allow 4 hours as there is a 3 hour break between the injection and the imaging. During that time there are no restrictions and you do not need to stay in the department.
  • No preparation required – you may eat, drink and dress normally.
  • Continue to take your normal medications.
  • Bring any previous renal ultrasound or CT scan.
