In 37 patients with suspected portal hypertension, the bone marrow and splenic uptake on 99mTc-sulfur colloid liver spleen scans correlated with increased portal pressures. The degree of increase was not possible to predict from the scans. In portacaval shunt patients, those with normal portal pressures could not be separated from those with elevated pressures on the basis of the scan alone.
