Accumulation of Tc-99m-sulfur colloid by the lung and kidney following disseminated intravascular coagulation.
A patient is described who demonstrated accumulation of Tc-99m-sulfur colloid in both the lung and kidney following treatment for disseminated intravascular coagulation. This phenomenon has been demonstrated experimentally in animals following the induction of disseminated intravascular coagulation, but to our knowledge has not been previously described in humans.
