Scintigraphic dissociation of reticuloendothelial and hepatocyte function in chronic vitamin A hepatotoxicity.
A discordant hepatic uptake between Tc-99m sulfur colloid and Ga-67 citrate has occurred in an adult patient with hepatotoxicity due to hypervitaminosis A. The authors believe this is a scintigraphic phenomenon related to the characteristics of the radiopharmaceuticals used and does not necessarily represent a true dissociation of various cellular functions of the liver.
