[18F]-sodium fluoride autoradiography imaging of nephrocalcinosis in donor kidneys and explanted kidney allografts

Abstract Nephrocalcinosis is present in up to 43% of kidney allograft biopsies at one-year after transplantation and is associated with inferior graft function and poor graft survival. We studied [18F]-sodium fluoride ([18F]-NaF) imaging of microcalcifications in donor kidneys (n = 7) and explanted...
