During the past four years, nine patients with liver cell carcinoma have been treated at first Department of Surgery, Gunma University and its related hospitals. Out of nine patients, seven patients had liver cirrhosis, one had chronic hepatitis and the other with a normal liver served as a control. The dynamic changes in 25 indices of liver function were investigated in the five patients who were treated at Gunma University. On the preoperative examinations, extreme abnormalities in the results of ICG-Rmax, OGTT, LAP and GTP tests were observed, particularly in those who died. Among the results of postoperative examinations, remarkable abnormalities were observed in T-Bi, TTT, ZTT, Ch-E, A/G, Plt and total cholesterol in the cases with liver cell carcinoma combined with liver cirrhosis.
It is felt that a more effective method to measure the total liver function change should be developed.
