[Further comments on changes in hepatic function after interposition meso-caval shunt (author's transl)].
Further to a previous paper, the Authors followed up ten cirrhotic patients who had all undergone meso-caval shunt with Dacron prosthesis, for ascites or haemorrhage, Functional and anzymatic investigations were carried on over periods up to 10 months. No constant changes in hepatic function parameters were found during the post-operative period, compared to those before surgery. This observation suggests that these investigations might be more useful in defining liver disease than in practical assessment of transient, post-operative liver failure.
