Unusual early bile excretion from the liver in patients with fulminant hepatic failure as detected by Tc-99m-PMT hepatobiliary scintigraphy; Comparison with Tc-99m-GSA scintigraphy

Abstract: In two females (58 and 14 years old) with fulminant hepatic failure, Tc-99m-PMT hepatobiliary scintigraphy was used to evaluate intrahepatic bile stagnation, and Tc-99m-GSA scintigraphy to evaluate hepatic functional reserve. In both patients, Tc-99m-PMT hepatobiliary scintigraphy showed unusual early bile excretion into the extrahepatic bile duct and small intestine within the first 30 min of imaging. These findings contradicted typical findings of intrahepatic bile stagnation of fulminant hepatic failure. Th… Show more

“…The intravenous injection of a single dose of 99m Tc‐PMT showed rapid blood clearance, fast hepatobiliary transit, low urinary excretion, and no intestinal reabsorption (18, 19). Unlike conventional radio nuclei, it is less antagonistic to serum bilirubin, and therefore, able to be administered even to patients with hyperbilirubinemia.…”
