[Hemodynamic and immunologic criteria of assessment of functional reserve of the liver].
Results of examination of 233 patients with hepatic tumors provided new criteria of the patients' selection for extended hepatic resections. Correlation between the degree of affection of porto-hepatic hemodynamics and the risk of hepatic failure was found. It is also demonstrated that an increase in the diameter of hepatic tumor leads to a decrease in the main hemodynamic parameters in the portal vein. The level of proinflammatory cytokines may be regarded not only as an indicator of tissue alteration but also as a significant prognostic criterion.
