Red Blood Cell (RBC) Survival

The procedure involves extraction and labeling of RBC with Chromium, reinjection of labeled RBC, serial extraction of blood and obtaining of counts of regions of interest using external detector to evaluate RBC survival

What is it for?

  • To evaluate RBC survival rate and examine patient with splenic sequestration, a condition that causes the spleen to fill with blood and become large and tender

How do I get ready for the test?

  • None

Are there any complications?

  • Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to the radioisotope/ radiopharmaceutical
