In medicine: Diethylenetriamine pentoacetic acid (DTPA) and mercaptoacetyl triglycine (MAG-3) are used to scan fluid flowing through the kidneys, which is used to differentiate these conditions. With a multicystic kidney, there is photopenia, and with obstruction of the pelvis-ureter segment always, even in severe cases, scanning allows you to determine a functioning kidney. Note: in many sources they confuse DTPA and MAG-3, but these are completely different compounds.
