The issue which actually we have to be concerned about is that Y90 is relatively more nephrotoxic which means that it damages the kidneys because of being a more potent radio isotope as compared to Lutetium so with Lutetium you barely get any kind of renal damage but with Y90 there is a potential for kidney damage and that is why it is important to use Y90 very judiciously and with proper renal protection protocols.
