From: Cyclosporin A, but not tacrolimus, negatively affects the hepatic extraction fraction of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in liver transplant recipients

Figure 1

Hepatobiliary scintigraphy. A 53-year old female patient who underwent liver transplantation (LTx) due to hepatitis C virus cirrhosis (case 2 in Table 4). Cyclosporin A was converted to tacrolimus treatment due to peripheral neuropathy 5 months after LTx. (a) A hepatobiliary scintigraphy with 99mTc-Mebrofenin performed 3 months after LTx. Dynamic study with recording time of 30 min in anterior projection. Images show a homogeneous accumulation of 99mTc-Mebrofenin in the transplanted liver and excretion to the small bowel at 15 to 20 min after injection. (b) A hepatobiliary scintigraphy with 99mTc-Mebrofenin in the same patient performed 1 year after LTx. Visually homogeneous accumulation of 99mTc-Mebrofenin in the transplanted liver and excretion to the small bowel in 10 to 15 min after injection.
