Abstract
IT has been suggested1 that complexity of the rose bengal plasma decay curve might be due to the uptake, by organs other than the liver, of different components of the dye. Biörck et al. 2 and Meurman3, using commercial rose bengal labelled with iodine-131, obtained results which made this assumption improbable and have interpreted the plasma decay curve by assuming the existence of a reverse flow of dye from liver cells into the blood.
