title: [The indocyanine green (Ujoviridin) test in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum].
abstract: A dose of 0.5 mg/kg body weight of indocyanine-green (Ujoviridin), a chromodiagnostic, was applied in one single injection under standardised conditions to 16 patients, aged between 21 and 31 years (25.9 years on average), with slight to moderate hyperemesis gravidarum, with the view to making an assessment of hepatic excretion.--Also determined were aminotransferases, alanine-aminopeptidase, and bilirubin in serum, accompanied by thymol turbidity tests.--The values of indocyanine-green half-life were all, but for one patient, within or at the upper limit of normal.--While the informative value of individual measurements is limited, the above findings seem to suggest that in cases of slight or moderate hyperemesis the laboratory parameters tested are unlikely to rise to pathological levels, except for slight increases which may be associated to certain individual cases.
