  • Title: Anaesthesia and liver disease.
    Author: McEvedy BA, Shelly MP, Park GR.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; 1986 Jul; 36(1):26-8, 30-2, 34. PubMed ID: 3535961.
    Abstract:
    Severe liver disease is not a common problem in patients presenting for anaesthesia and surgery. However, because many vital functions are performed by the liver, impairment of these has important implications for the anaesthetist. In addition, since the metabolism and elimination of drugs may be altered, the response of the patient to anaesthetic agents may be unpredictable.
