  • Title: [Effect of 99mTc elution in vivo from red cells on red cell volumes measured using autologous 99mTc-labeled red cells: comparison with 51Cr method].
    Author: Gallet M, Drouet C, Girodon F, Nicolas A, Riedinger JM.
    Journal: Ann Biol Clin (Paris); 2020 Jun 01; 78(3):319-322. PubMed ID: 32540818.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this work was to compare the measured red-cell volume (RCV) using sodium pertechnétate [RCV-99mTc] compared to the reference technique using sodium radiochromate [RCV-51Cr] and to assess the influence of technetium-99 elution on the RCV-99mTc value. Ten patients had simultaneous measurements of RCV-99mTc and RCV-51Cr. Elution of Tc-99m from red blood cells was 2.9% and led to an average overestimation of RCV-99mTc of 3.7%. The introduction of individual tracer elution rates in the RCV-99mTc calculation corrects this overestimation.
