DMSA

DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid) is a special medicine used in medical imaging to assess kidney health. When injected into the body, it binds to healthy kidney tissue, allowing doctors to take detailed pictures with a special camera. This helps identify areas of damage, scarring, or infection in the kidneys. DMSA scans are particularly useful in evaluating children with urinary tract infections or kidney problems, providing precise information about kidney function and structure without being invasive.
