[Evaluation of primary amyloidosis using scintigraphy with the serum amyloid P component: from diagnosis to prognosis]. / Evaluation de l'amylose primitive (AL) par scintigraphie au composant sérique amyloïde P: du diagnostic au pronostic.

ABSTRACT

Purified human SAP labeled with iodine-123(123I-SAP) was given intravenously to 24 patients with biopsy-proved systemic primary amyloidis. Spleen and liver distribution of amyloidis is mostly revealed by 123I-SAP scintigraphy and the importance of retention may be correlated with the survival.
