Objective(s): Silver nanoparticles show anti-fungal properties, and is widely used in medicine. In this research, the impacts of silver nanoparticles on the hepatic functional tests and changes in liver tissues in adult male rats were investigated. Methods: In this experimental study, 28 adult male Wistar rats, each weighing approximately 180-220 g were divide...

Although tests of liver function have been studied for many years, it is only recently that any intensive comparative studies have been made (1 to 3). Liver function studies are performed (a) to detect hepatic damage, (b) to aid in prognosis and assist in determining any surgical risk, (c) to differentiate obstructive from nonobstructive jaundice. The detection of hepatic damage is complicated ...

UNLABELLED Reliable assessment of hepatic function during liver regeneration is crucial after liver surgery or liver transplantation. (99m)Tc-galactosyl human serum albumin ((99m)Tc-GSA) scintigraphy, (99m)Tc-mebrofenin hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS), the indocyanine green (ICG) clearance test, and the galactose elimination capacity (GEC) are common quantitative liver function tests. However,...

We have studied the results of 10 hepatic tests with multivariate linear discriminant analysis in 44 normal subjects and 88 cirrhotic patients. The results prove that the functional tests with major diagnostic power re those that analyse the functional reserve of the liver, basically the clearance and transport maximum of bromsulphalein. Both give us a diagnostic error of 1.2% and the addition ...

background kawasaki disease (kd) is a vasculitis affecting multi-organ systems including liver and kidneys. kd is diagnosed by some clinical criteria including sterile pyuria, microscopic hematuria, proteinuria due to renal involvement, liver abnormalities manifesting as abnormal liver function tests, gallbladder hydrops, and hypoalbuminemia. objectives the aim of the study was to determine the...

Preoperative assessment of liver function and prediction of postoperative functional reserve are important in patients scheduled for liver resection. While determination of absolute liver function currently mostly relies on laboratory tests and clinical scores, postoperative remnant liver function is estimated volumetrically using imaging data obtained with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic ...
