Functional Liver Dysfunction


In a “healthy population” 40% of men and 20%
of women have functional liver dysfunction.
Common liver function tests are misleading
because most tests used in clinical practice
measure hepato-cellular damage not function.
Specific tests may be useful
 Aminopyrine breath test assessing
microsomal liver function
 The galactose elimination test assessing the
cytosolic liver function
 The sorbitol clearance test assessing the
liver plasma flow
 The indocyanine green clearance test
assesing the liver perfusion
 The lidocaine Clearance test (Cytochrome P 450)
• But they are very rarely used
Clinical Symptoms



(Hypertension 2000 Feb;39(2) 303-7)
