  • Title: [A 99mTc-colloid study of the intrahepatic blood flow in liver cirrhosis in children].
    Author: Mironov SP, Aliev MM, Leont'ev AF.
    Journal: Med Radiol (Mosk); 1991; 36(3):12-3. PubMed ID: 2016998.
    Abstract:
    Hepatoscintigraphic investigations were conducted in 63 patients aged 3 to 15 to study the features of intrahepatic blood flow and degrees of its compensation in children with liver cirrhosis of different stages. 99mTc-colloid was employed as a radiopharmaceutical. Disproportions of scintigraphic liver images showed close correlation with clinico-biochemical and morphological signs of the severity of disease. Subcompensation and decompensation of the organ blood flow and reticuloendothelial system in children with developed and terminal stages of liver cirrhosis are characterized by prolonged blood RP inhibition, a decrease in the total clearance of radioactive colloid, a progressively reduced index of liver clearance, and an increase in a colloid uptake by the spleen.
