  • Title: Indium-111 platelet scintigraphy in a patient with chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation.
    Author: Nakanishi E, Isaka Y, Etani H, Furukawa S, Ooe Y, Imaizumi M.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2000 Aug; 25(8):588-90. PubMed ID: 10944011.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a relation between the in vivo localized consumption of In-111 platelets and results of laboratory tests in a 82-year-old man with an aortic graft prosthesis who had chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation. In-111 platelets accumulated markedly over the abdominal aortic graft with a shortened platelet survival time and reflected changes in hematologic studies, which showed low platelet counts and a high concentration of fibrinogen degradation products in the plasma. If a strong clinical likelihood of local disseminated intravascular coagulation exists, then In-111 platelets may be valuable in localizing the focus of platelet consumption.
