  • Title: [Functional assessment of the hepatic arterial blood flow by pharmacoradiography (author's transl)].
    Author: Stellamor K, Hruby W, Peschl L.
    Journal: Rontgenblatter; 1981 Dec; 34(12):463-6. PubMed ID: 7323629.
    Abstract:
    By means of celiacography it was possible to demonstrate that parenteral medication with parathormone creates a selective dilatation of the liver vessels in man, provided that they are dilatable. This hemodynamic hormone effect could not be traced in the other mesenteric vessels. The increase of portal hypertension resulting from cirrhosis leads to a loss of the dilating ability of liver vessels. This regressive reaction is well demonstrated on the parathormon-celiaco-gram. Thus a functional assessment of the hepatic blood flow is possible. The extent of the dilatability of the liver artery seems to be of great importance for the prognosis and indication of the porto-systemic shunt-operation. Moreover we could show that an increase in the liver perfusion demonstrates pathologic liver processes in a better way.
