Effect of phlebography on 125I uptake test. 1979

W G Ritchie, and R L Soulen, and P W Rogers

Increased 125I fibrinogen uptake counts were encountered in 30 of 55 limbs after a normal ascending phelbogram. In most cases, the abnormal 125I fibrinogen uptake test occurred within 72 hr after phlebography, and the elevated counts were most frequently seen around the ankle, with contiguous involvement of the calf seen less often. Inly three patients with positive counts subsequently became symptomatic and were treated for deep venous thrombosis. The presence of deep venous thrombosis was confirmed by repeat ascending phlebography in two of these cases. Ascending phlebography was not performed on the other positive postphlebographic fibrinogen uptake test limbs.

D007457 Iodine Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. Radioisotopes, Iodine
D010690 Phlebography Radiographic visualization or recording of a vein after the injection of contrast medium. Venography,Phlebographies,Venographies
D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products. Coagulation Factor I,Factor I,Blood Coagulation Factor I,gamma-Fibrinogen,Factor I, Coagulation,gamma Fibrinogen

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
