[Hepatic hemodynamics and function (author's transl)].
Methods to quantitatively assess all the hemodynamic alterations which occur in cirrhosis of the liver unfortunately are not as yet available. Within this context, transhepatic catheterization of portal vein branches represents a real progress. A better understanding of the pathophysiology of the BSP plasma disappearance curve has revealed that the second exponential component (k2) is particularly useful for the early diagnosis of cholestasis.
