Radioactive Rose Bengal Test of Liver Function
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The liver is an organ, which defies investigation in several ways. It is hidden in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and away from other viscera in a "secret cave". Being a large organ, it presents problems in the localisation of lesions, particularly in the depth of the lobe. Further, its several functions are not affected to the same extent in disease. It also has a large reserve capacity so that even if a considerable part of the organ is affected, the liver function tests may be normal.

Rat Liver Parenchymal Cell Function during Azo Dye Carcinogenesis.
(I†• tagged) rose bengal uptake-excre tion test for liver function, as described by Taplin et al. (21), has proven to be a valuable test for a quantitative measure of liver function. In rats, I†• rose bengal uptake and excretion are definitively related to parenchymal cell function (21). Mendeloff (10) showed by fluorescence that injected rose bengal is localized only in parenchymal cells o...
متن کاملVital Staining of Damaged Liver Cells
Some dyes are excreted almost exclusively by the liver and the rate of their elimination from the circulating blood is used as a test of certain aspects of hepatic function in man. Rose bengal is one of these dyes,""a"' and the test in which it is used is similar to the better known procedure utilizing bromsulphalein. Clearance of rose bengal from the blood is known to be retarded in hepatic di...

The dye for the excretory function test of the liver has been investi gated by many authors, and methylenblue (MB), indigocarmine (IC), congo red (CR), phenoltetrachlorphthalein (PTCP), azorubin S (AS), rose bengal (RS) and bromsulphalein (BS) had been used as the dye for the test. Moreover, we1) added recently bromphenolblue (BPB) to these as a new dye. In this paper, I examined experimentally...

Background and Aim: Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease and is one of the major health problems in our country. Considering its nonspecific symptoms, diagnosis of this disease is often made by laboratory methods. The purpose of the present study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of ELISA and a relatively new modified Rose Bengal test in the diagnosis of brucellosis. Material and Meth...

A technique for assessing quantitatively hepatic function by direct measurement of liver parenchymal cell uptake of 131I Rose Bengal using a scintillation camera with a digital store and retrieval system is described. Ninety-four studies were performed on 84 patients with a variety of hepatic disorders over a two-year period, the diagnosis in each case being established by liver biopsy or lapar...
