Hepatomegaly is a common manifestation in Gaucher disease. In some patients with the disease, hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension are observed. A patient with Gaucher disease with the hepatopulmonary syndrome associated with severe cyanosis and hypoxemia was examined for intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt using Tc-99m MAA. Quantitative evaluation revealed an approximately 50% right to left shunt as indicated by Tc-99m MAA activity in the lungs and systemic organs.
肝肿大是戈谢病的常见表现。在一些患有该疾病的患者中,可观察到肝纤维化和门静脉高压。对一名患有戈谢病且伴有严重紫绀和低氧血症的肝肺综合征患者,使用锝-99m标记的巨聚白蛋白(Tc-99m MAA)检查肺内右向左分流情况。定量评估显示,根据肺和全身器官中Tc-99m MAA的活性,右向左分流约为50%。
