We describe a 43-yr-old woman with fulminant hepatic failure whose progress was
monitored scintigraphically using 99m-Tc-galactosyl-human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) …

Abstract Tc-99m galactosyl-neoglycoalbumin (NGA) is a new liver imaging agent that
specifically binds to a hepatocyte specific membrane receptor, the hepatic binding protein …

抄録 Fulminant hepatic failure is associated with a high mortality rate. Thus, accurate
assessment of hepatic functional reserve and hepatic regeneration is important. We …

RESULTS The medians (25th and 75th percentiles) of the receptor index were 0.59 (0.47,
0.75) in patients with FHF, 0.91 (0.88, 0.94) in patients with AH, 0.94 (0.92, 0.96) in patients …

Using data from 17 patients with liver cirrhosis and 3 patients with fatty liver, we have
compared the utility of 3 hepatic imaging agents in the evaluation of hepatic functional …

Background: The prognosis of acute hepatic failure represented by fulminant hepatitis still
remains poor despite an intensive medical therapy. Although liver transplantation for …
