Abstract |
We present a case of a young female patient with
fulminant hepatitis who showed an altered
biodistribution of Ga-67, after being scanned twice at
10 month intevals. On initial scan, uptake of Ga-67 was
increased in the liver, kidneys, and skeletons.
Increased hepatic Ga-67 uptake may be explained by
increased transferrin unbound Ga-67 that was taken up
by the inflamed liver. The saturation of iron-binding
proteins due to multiple transfusions may lead to
increased renal and skeletal Ga-67 uptake. On follow-up
scan hepatic Ga-67 uptake was markedly increased. Also
increased Ga-67 uptake in the axial skeleton and
normalized renal uptake were shown. The findings were
consistent with iron deficiency anemia. This case
demonstrates altered Ga-67 biodistribution associated
with multiple transfusions, fulminant hepatitis, and
iron deficiency anemia. |
