Clinical and Scintigraphic Predictors of Primary Lower Limb Lymphedema-Volume Reduction During Complete Decongestive Physical Therapy.

CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis identified clinical and scintigraphic predictors of primary lymphedema-volume reduction for patients with unilateral disease. Lymphoscintigraphy helps confirm lymphedema and predict volume reduction. Further study is required to confirm these observations. PMID: 31944248 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
