Description Technetium-99m-MAG, is accepted as a renal tubular function agent. However, sporadic
liver and gall bladder visualisation during its clinical use is clearly a disadvantage. HPLC-purified 99mTc-
MAG, samples. exhibited appreciable hepatobiliary uptake (7%), and an elevated level of such uptake was
observed in unpurified kit preparations, which was stated to be associated with the excretory property
of the radiolabeled kit impurities. To verify this we attempted to quantitate the hepatobiliary uptake of
the kit preparations with that of its radiolabeled components. The contribution of each component to-
ward hepatobiliary uptake of the sample was calculated from their abundance in the chelate mixture
and the individual biodistribution of the isolated components. However, the anticipated hepatobiliary uptake
of different preparations of 99mTc*MAG, calculated in this way was always lower than that of the experi-
mental value determined directly. Further work is needed to explain the anomaly.
