The potential role of radiolabeled red blood cell scintigraphy in diagnosis of endometriosis
Introduction: Endometriosis is a gynecological disease and disorder that occurs when endometrial cells are shed through the fallopian tubes and are implanted on the surfaces of pelvis and abdomen. They form lesions that respond to hormones of the menstural cycle and will stimulate inflammation. It is controversial whether [99mTc]Tc-RBC scan would be sufficient for lo...
متن کاملUrinary red blood cells: not only glomerular or nonglomerular.
Two main types of red blood cells, isomorphic and dysmorphic, are found in the urine sediment, indicating nonglomerular and glomerular hematuria, respectively. Occasionally, however, other types of red blood cells such as sickle cells, anisocytes, poikilocytes, elliptocytes and dacryocytes can be seen in the urine sediment of patients with hematuria. This paper describes such cases reported in ...
متن کاملUrinary tract cancer screening through analysis of urinary red blood cell volume distribution.
BACKGROUND Hematuria is differentiated between glomerular and urinary tract origins on the basis of urinary red cell morphology. We used this distinction in a program of mass screening for urinary tract cancer to achieve cost-effective and safe hematuria screening. METHODS Of a total of 21372 adults (mean age 52.3 years; range 20-79 years) participating in a health screening, 912 (4.3%) had a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Blood Storage Lesions in Leuko-depleted Red Blood Cell Units
Background: Red blood cells (RBCs) undergo biochemical and morphologic alterations during storage that are known as the storage lesions causing decreased RBC quality and are correlated with transfusion reactions in certain groups especially in infants and critically ill patients. Microvesicles (MVs) as one of storage lesions may be derived from various cell types and have key roles in several...
