B. Erbas et al., SCINTIGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF REDUCED-SIZE LIVER-TRANSPLANT FROM LIVING-RELATED DONOR IN BYLERS DISEASE, Clinical nuclear medicine, 18(5), 1993, pp. 423-424
Byler's syndrome is a rare form of autosomal recessive intrahepatic ch
olestasis that is fatal in children. A 10-year-old girl diagnosed with
Byler's syndrome underwent reduced-size liver transplantation using l
ateral segments of her living mother's liver. The donor's and the reci
pient's liver functions after transplantation were evaluated using Tc-
99m disofenin and Tc-99m SC to investigate morphology, liver perfusion
, and hepatobillary function.
