  • Title: Use of 99mTc-sulfur colloid in evaluation of renal transplant complications.
    Author: Frick MP, Loken MK, Goldberg ME, Simmons RL.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1976 Mar; 17(3):181-3. PubMed ID: 765437.
    Abstract:
    Technetium-99m-sulfur colloid (TSC) was administered to 45 renal transplant patients. No TSC accumulation was seen in normally functioning transplant kidneys. Accumulation of TSC was found in 89% of transplants with rejection, in 30% of transplants exhibiting acute tubular necrosis, and in 30% of transplants of patients with sepsis. Renal accumulation of TSC in various transplant complications diminishes the value of this technique for monitoring transplant rejection.
