Overview
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- Spleen scintigraphy, with the use of Technetium-99m-labelled heat-damaged autologous erythrocyte clearance is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of Asplenia.[1]
Diagnostic finding
- Measures spleen function
- Measures splenic uptake and clearance of heat-damaged erythrocytes.
Name of Diagnostic Criteria
There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of Asplenia.
