also called Psp Test,
clinical procedure for the estimation of overall blood flow through the kidney; (
kidney) the test is used only infrequently now. A specific dose of the PSP dye is injected intravenously, and its recovery in the urine is measured at successive 15-, 30-, 60-, and 120-minute intervals. The kidney secretes 80 percent of the PSP dye, the liver the remaining 20 percent. The recovery value at 15 minutes after injection (normally about 25–35 percent) is the most significant diagnostically, since even a damaged kidney may be able to remove the PSP dye from circulation given a longer time to do so. PSP excretion is decreased in most chronic kidney diseases and may be increased in some liver disorders.
