Gallium citrate Ga 67 has been reported to be of value in the diagnosis of both malignant and infectious intra-abdominal diseases. The drug may also be taken up by mononuclear phagocytes in noninfectious tubulo-interstitial disease of the kidney. Positive renal scans from patients with these diseases either become negative or show decreased uptake following treatment. With further support of these findings, gallium citrate Ga 67 may become a valuable tool in both diagnosis and follow-up of noninfectious interstitial nephritis.
据报道，枸橼酸镓Ga 67在诊断腹腔内恶性疾病和感染性疾病方面均有价值。该药物也可能被肾非感染性肾小管间质性疾病中的单核吞噬细胞摄取。这些疾病患者的肾脏扫描结果呈阳性，但在治疗后要么转为阴性，要么显示摄取减少。有了这些发现的进一步支持，枸橼酸镓Ga 67可能成为非感染性间质性肾炎诊断和随访的一种有价值的工具。
