Abstract

A bone scan with Tc-99m MDP was obtained to rule out the presence of micro fractures in a patient with the diagnosis of idiopathic osteoporosis. There was not any sign of micro fractures, but interestingly, both kidneys were diffusely very active. A differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury secondary to the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug was made and reported after elimination of other clinical situations. The renal functions obtained following bone scan were impaired. The anti-inflammatory drug was discontinued. The renal functions were recovered starting with the following day.
