IRREVERSIBLE CHARACTER OF THE LATE CHANGES AFTER HEPATECTOMY.
The symptoms of advanced liver insufficiency, in the hepatectomized rabbit, are irreversible. That is to say, cross-transfusions between liverless rabbits and normal ones fail to ameliorate the symptoms of liver deprivation once they are established. The normal rabbits show no symptoms suggesting that toxic substances have accumulated in the blood of the hepatectomized ones.
