title: [Enzymology of the liver in hydatidosis].
abstract: A research has been conducted studying the enzyme system of the liver using biopsy material of the organ taken during the operation from patients with echinococcosis and an experiment with infantile white mice. It is proved reduction of the activity of the alkaline and acid phosphatase as well as of the glycogen along with their progressive reduction during the disease progression. Compared with the other researches--histological and by electronic microscope, etc.--there are proved great hepatic damages due to the echinococcosis that have caused change of the treatment tactics: large preoperative period, including reconstructions of the glycogenic depot in the organ, gentle to the liver anesthesia, exact postoperative reanimation. Very good results have been obtained concerning the postoperative complications and operative mortality: observing the developed acute liver insufficiency--in the past the mortality has been 27.60% throughout 2.49% of the operated patients; after those measures the acute liver insufficiency after this kind of operation is seen just once (0.40% of the patients) and the mortality is 0.
