Sodium iodohippurate (131I), also known as radiohippuran, is a radiopharmaceutical agent labeled with iodine-131, historically used in nuclear medicine for renal imaging and assessment of renal plasma flow and function. It serves primarily as a diagnostic tool in renal scintigraphy. Its use has largely been replaced by agents with improved safety profiles and lower radiation exposure, such as Tc-99m-MAG3.
Representative pharmacokinetic model parameters reported in adult healthy volunteers following intravenous administration.
