Fibrinogen uptake test
text:
A fibrinogen uptake test is a test that was formerly used to detect deep vein thrombosis. Radioactive labeled fibrinogen is given which is incorporated in the thrombus. The thrombus can then be detected by scintigraphy. Iodine 125-labeled fibrinogen scanning is a very sensitive method for detecting subclinical leg vein thrombi. Fibrinogen scanning is less useful for the diagnosis of established venous thrombosis, but is valuable for detecting extension of venographically diagnosed calf vein thro
