[18F]AlF-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT in Inflammation and Fibrosis in Renal Diseases

The intravenous radiotracer dose is 1.85-2.59 MBq/kg, and imaging will be performed 50-60 min after radiotracer injection. All patients are required to urinate as much as possible for imaging preparations, which reduces the influence of the residual radiotracer in the renal pelvis and calyces. Some patients with poor renal function (GFR\<60 mL/min, urine volume \< 1000 mL/24 h) will be given diuretics (Furosemide, 0.57 mg/kg). The scope of the whole-body inspection is from the base of the skull to the base of the thigh, using five to six beds (3 min/bed). The matrix was 128×128, the PET layer thickness was 3 mm, and all PET images are reconstructed iteratively.

The patients undergo renal puncture biopsy one day after PET/CT examination. Pathological results of renal biopsy will be collected after surgery, including but not limited to: pathological diagnosis, proportion of glomerulosclerosis, extent of inflammatory cell infiltration, and degree of renal interstitial fibrosis.
