Red Blood Cell Survival Study

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 78135

A nuclear medicine study in which a sample of the patient's own red blood cells is tagged with a small amount of radioactive tracer, returned to the bloodstream, and then measured on repeat samples over a period of days to see how long those cells last in circulation. A short red cell lifespan points to cells being destroyed or lost rather than simply not being made.
