Abstract Renal cortical imaging with 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has become the imaging test of choice for the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. An unusual uptake pattern was observed in a child receiving chemotherapy for a bladder rhabdomyosarcoma. Chemotherapy from ifosfamide produces a specific pattern of injury to the renal tubule that alters uptake of DMSA.
