  • Title: [Liver metabolism of indocyanine green and aminopyrine in liver cirrhosis: relations with functioning liver cell mass].
    Author: Bolognesi M, Merkel C, Angeli P, Caregaro L, Gatta A.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1988 Dec; 79(12):1035-41. PubMed ID: 3211355.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic clearance of indocyanine green, a drug with a high hepatic extraction rate, and breath tests with aminopyrine, a drug with a low hepatic extraction ratio, were calculated in 26 patients with liver cirrhosis. In addition galactose elimination capacity was calculated as an index of functional liver cell mass. All these parameters resulted significantly correlated with each other. These results confirm the view that during liver cirrhosis, metabolism of drugs with high and low hepatic extraction rates can be described according to the intact hepatocyte theory.
