Hepatic disorder in burn patients.
Changes in liver function were studied in 33 patients with burns. In 21 of these patients hepatic disorder developed relatively early after the injury (early hepatic disorder), with a relapse of hepatic disorder occurring later in 8 patients (late hepatic disorder). Our study demonstrated that these hepatic dysfunctions may largely be attributable to post-transfusion acute hepatitis (non-A, non-B or B types).
