[Liver-damaging action of halothane--an animal experiment study].
After long-term exhibition to halothane (up to 96 hours), centrolobular hepatic damage (fatty degeneration, necrobiosis and necrosis) developed in rats, proportionally to the number of anesthesias and shortening of the intervals. From these results no hepatotoxic effect of halothane can be derived, since the alterations might be caused by hypoxia alone.
