  ABSTRACT: Purpose: To evaluate the amalgamation of scintigraphy and sonography techniques in prognosticating renal disease. Methods: All the patients were subjected to renal scintigraphy while 68 patients underwent renal ultrasonography. Ninety-six patients’ imaging data was statistically analyzed including 43 females and 53 males. Renal U/S reported anatomical renal anomaly in 94.1% of patients versus 85.4% detected by scintigraphy. There were 41 patients out of 68 diagnosed with hydronephrosis and 21 of them were suffering from mild hydronephrosis as suggested by U/S imaging. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 21 software. Results: Renal scintigraphy of 41 hydronephrotic patients validated that 19 patients had non-obstructive bilateral pelvic dilation while the remaining 22 with mild to severe obstruction. Ultrasonography diagnosed 4 patients with renal obstruction. Conversely, renal scintigraphy validated 2 of them with renal obstruction based on renal function. Conclusions: Renal scintigraphy is not significant in diagnosing kidney disease; rather this is a vibrant imaging tool providing supplementary data based on renal function. An effectively targeted intervention regime can be achieved by correlating renal scintigraphy and renal ultrasonography results to minimize renal disease incidence.
