  • Title: [Pre- and postoperative splanchnic hemodynamics measured by indocyanine green clearance in patients with portal hypertension].
    Author: Song Y.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1991 Nov; 29(11):669-72, 717. PubMed ID: 1818801.
    Abstract:
    In this study, plasma indocyanine green clearance (PIGC) and hepatic blood flow (HBF) were measured in patients with portal hypertension before and after pericardial devascularization or side-to-side mesocaval shunt (MS), and the relationship between PIGC and plasma albumin level was investigated. It was found that there was no change in PIGC after the patients underwent pericardial devascularization (portoazygous disconnection). There were a significant decrease of PIGC (averaging 16.28 +/- 8.3%,) and a decrease of HBF (averaging 17.71%, p less than 0.001) after the patients underwent MS. It was also found that there was a positive relationship between PIGC and plasma albumin level in patients with portal hypertension.
