RESUMO
In internal medicine of domestic cats, imaging modalities, such as ultrasonography, radiography and intravenous pylogram are widely used. Scintigraphy is a non-invasive technique, which provides functional information of each individual kidney; however, it is not widely available or utilized currently in veterinary medicine. The aim of this study was to determine the time of excretion of each kidney in normal domestic cats using nuclear scintigraphy. Fifteen cats (9 males and 6 females) determined to be within normal limits for radiographic and ultrasonographic renal parameters, were divided into two experimental groups (awake and anesthetized cats). Time to maximum radiopharmaceutical activity (T max) and time to decline to half maximum radiopharmaceutical activity (half-time) were determined in each kidney for each cat. No statistical difference was found between groups (awake vs. anesthetized) or sex (males vs. females), or between left and right kidneys.
