ABSTRACT
We have performed 59 111In-labeled platelet scintigraphies in 12 patients with pancreas transplant, and we have compared retrospectively the 111In platelet uptake with the graft immunological situation. A diffuse uptake in the graft was seen in five of six patients with pancreatic rejection. The scans became positive before changes in biochemical tests were detected. No 111In platelet uptake was seen in five of seven normally functioning grafts. Two cases of venous thrombosis and two perigraft hematomas appeared like a focal 111In platelet accumulation. Indium-111-labeled platelet scintigraphy can be a useful method for monitoring pancreas transplants. It may be helpful in the early detection of pancreatic allograft rejection and in the differential diagnosis between this and other complications such as thrombosis or hematomas.
